See? At the latest car show, he whips out a picture of 'em.

Well, he promised he'd deliver 'em by easter. I guess that picture proves he's an honest man of integrity after all.

How very very odd...

They have the sooper secret technology that all of the competition will steal from them if they show it.

Grrrrrr. The slowness of this site is irritating.

So he shows a picture of two boxes, and says the batteries are in the boxes??? Well, whoop-de-doo. Next thing is he'll have a picture of a sheet that he claims the Volt is under, but he can't take the sheet off because "the competition might steal it."

Looks like a high school science project.

Where is the drivable test mule on the road? Easter is coming and someone is going to get an egg on the face.

Yolk is coming instead of Volt.

Wow. I wonder if that shiny chrome plating helps in any way...more voltage, faster recharge, higher price tag.

Yes.

And those don't look like any of the A123 packs I've seen.
