Chevy Volt Questioned
GM has been taking large steps forward in regards to creating an electric car. Earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show they debuted the Chevrolet Volt, which features an electric power train. Questions are arising now as to the safety and economic value of creating such a vehicle, which would operate on lithium ion batteries.
With a fully operational prototype by the end of 07, GM is hoping for a launch as early as 2010. Such a strict time line on production has caused some to question GM's sincerity and view it simply as a PR stunt.
"Competitors who write this off as a PR exercise are going to be brutally surprised," Lutz said.

The curved side windows would distort light, in other words the person inside would have a distorted image of the outside.
I like the concept of the Volt, however I am not sure about the package of this vehicle: Interior space seems very small in proportion to the overall dimensions.

I think this car look fantastic. how the modeling is and how it is made make it look beautiful

The curved side windows don’t distort light, you are confusing a window with a lens. What car today has flat glass panes? All cars have curved windshields and side and rear glass, ever see a ‘63 Corvette split window???

even if there is any mistakes in making this vehicle at least they are trying i like the fact that this car can go 40 miles on a single charge before it uses a single drop of gas
