Anyone have evidence on who the general has picked as a supplier of juice for the volt? I see many speculations such as LG Chem/Compact Power and A123/Continental but is there anyone such as a supplier or purchasing agent in GM viewing this able to give us an update?

Don’t mean to come off as a party pooper but I have to say that from those pics I like the looks of the concept much better. The leaked pics look like just another ho-hum chevy compact car, IMO. Certainly better than a cobalt but the ‘electric camero’ I was expecting, and not what I would pay in the neighborhood of 40K for.

The September 16 date seems to be confirmed in ads running in today’s NYTimes. A large picture of the Volt is accompanied by this: “On September 16, 2008, our second century begins. Visit GMnext.com at 8 a.m. EDT to experience the future of transportation.”

I say the leaked production photos are much better. As for the photos of the interior, i think that it’s better than the concept, but its a little iffy for me.
