SFist Photo: Come See the New Chevy Volt Plug-In

That's right, do just what The General wants, you sheeple. Larger version of this photo here

Now this is just a show car, but it's GM's effort at building a cheap, practical plug-in hybrid. Yes, they were working on something like this ten years ago, and yes, Toyota has the lead in this arena. But the people at General Monkeybusiness could have a winner on their hands if they put their minds to it. This is a special tour just for the San Francisco area plus three other cities. However, all you can do is just look at it and get a brochure, or maybe a free T-shirt. Check it out if you are around Fisherman's Wharf or Pier 39. (Believe that's where the Volt will be instead of Union Square today.)

Just don't call it a "plug-in hybrid" even though that's what it is. Zoom zoom.
