And, for the two previous posters, you've assumed the the Volt will be based upon the Saab technology. This may or may not be the truth. We will see. It will be interesting to see the comparison.

The Sthlm show was 8 months ago, and it is strange that no other company have presented a plug in prior to this. It creates a lot of buz - something that GM needs. Guess that business vice it makes sence to have the big brand present it. The important thing is that GM developes the technology and lets saab use it early - why not in the new 9-5? Think that GM have had lots of pation with SAAB, and I am looking forward to the upcoming year, with face lift of the 9-3, possibly a 9-4 cross over and maybe a small consept?
