Before the bottom fell out of the automotive industry at the end of 2008 and General Motors found itself going hat in hand to the federal government just to survive, the company had optimistic plans for its extended-range hybrid electric, the Volt. Designed to run 40 miles on battery power alone and outfitted with the latest in lithium-ion battery technology, the Volt quickly became all the talk in green circles.

For its 100th anniversary celebration on September 16, 2008, GM trotted out a production version of the much-discussed sedan. At the time, vice-chairman Bob Lutz said the car was headed for American showrooms in 2010 (the implication being early 2010) and on to Europe in 2011. Lutz sounded confident about taking on Toyota's 80 percent domination of the hybrid market with the Prius. After all, the Volt can do something the Prius can't. Run on electric power solo for 40 miles at speeds of up to 100 mph. Or so they tell us.
