After months of carefully orchestratedhype-building by the Chevy Volt's PR team, we finally get the real deal, straight from the source. As part of GM's centennial birthday bash, the automaker has gone public with the official specs for the car that they hope will launch them into a successful second century of automotive glory. Pictures of the production Volt, along with a press release touting the vehicle's features are finally out.According to the press release, the Volt will be able to make a 40 mile trip without using any gasoline, saving drivers an estimated $1,500 a year. Nice. While I still kinda wish the Volt had kept its sports car facade, I might have been too harsh when I bad-mouthed the new body style last week. In the new photos, it looks a bit more aggressive. Also, the changes to the body style were made to improve the Volt's aerodynamics, thereby increasing its range -- pretty crucial.
