Part of this whole bail out thing asks the "Big Three" to come up with an alternative fuel vehicle for mass production. Ford suddenly came up with a handful of idea, no word from Chrysler, GM was in the GREEN. General Motors has been testing their new Volt for quite a while. If you aren't familiar with the Volt, look it up. It's quite impressive and promising, possibly too little too late, though.
Rick Wagoner, the CEO of GM was slated to drive a new Malibu Hybrid to the senate hearings, but decided to flex some muscle. He took a Chevy Volt, on a Cruze body instead.
It's good to know that the Volt architecture can be used inside different bodies, giving it more flexibility.
