It's true. My wife and I took the Chevy Volt for a test drive. A local dealer has a Volt that they are demoing. They're not aloud to sell it for 6 months, so there was no pressure into if we were interested in buying it or not. It's an interesting car, and the best way to describe it is it's like driving a giant iPod. But anyways, here's the test video:
