It was the opportunity to drive yet another futuristic car, Chevrolet's Volt, this effort by General Motors a magnificent piece of work, especially its gas/electric powertrain.
Smooth as silk, so quiet Rolls-Royce has competition for their Ghost models, Volt could be a remarkable car which captures the attention of the American public; but getting people into Chevrolet showrooms is the real trick, isn't it? If they don't visit the dealer, they can't buy the car.
Volt won't go on-sale until November, 2010, but Sunday morning I drove the pre-production version of the car and spent well over an hour with Volt's Chief Engineer, Andrew Farah. Farah's been with the Volt almost since its inception.
