I would say that Chevy Volt is over-hyped to a degree...
I think it's a great concept car, and I really wish they would hurry up on getting it into production. I like how it's gas engine doesn't run the wheels at all, it only contributes to recharging.
But on the other hand, it's getting a lot more hype than it deserves. General Motors to me seems notorious for acting way more environmental than they actually are. For example, the gas mileage on most Chevy vehicles is pretty rotten, and yet they have a whole web page dedicated to how great their gas mileage is. What they list is the old EPA highway estimates for their vehicles. That's about as overblown as legally possible.
Anyway, as far as the volt goes, like I said, it's a great concept, but somehow I doubt GM is going to be speedy about getting this, and other practical environmentally friendly cars onto the road any time before they absolutely have to.
