You know, until I actually sat in the Chevy Volt at the Alternative Car Expo in Santa Monica, I wasn't so sure about green vehicles. Not too many put an emphasis on good design. But after this Ride N' Drive with GM Environmental Dood, Shad Balch ... I'm diggin' this car. So much so that I had to do up my own Malibu version here.
The Volt is top notch from the get-go. The seats, ergonomics, fit and finish are top quality. Although the power is governed a bit much for me, it does the job and feels awesome. Not bad for a car that has no tranny, touch-sensor technology for us into super cool and a pretty forward thinking design. It's not radical, but thought through well. I plan to do a RIDE ALONG episode of this puppy soon in the Bu.
But the show overall had some cool stuff, including an Electric Kart Racer from Shane Poindexter and some other cool contraptions. See my blog for the complete gallery.
