    Where can I find the picture of the Volt's interior? I have not seen the rear seats before.

    Yeh, that looks a bit cramped! The lack of seating for five is really gonna hurt sales beyond the initial "must have" crowd. Leg room seems kind of tight as well. Oh well, we'll see!

    Why the cup holders in the middle where a seat should be? Strange concept. It's not like the passengers can even shuffle across like my kids do so they're not getting out into the road side.

    The T shape battery pack is under the cup holders. There are a lot of compromises in it to be able to go 40 miles EV and then run on gas engine.
