General Motors continues to eek out teaser shots of the production Chevy Volt, but it appears that an image of the production interior has slipped through the Empire's net of control. All we have to go on for this image posted on the Motivemag.com forums is the image itself, which is part of a display panel at what appears to be a sneak preview of the vehicle for god knows who. What we see is a sleek, all-white center console with virtually no buttons. The controls appear to be touch sensitive instead, leaving the face of the console as smooth as a Frigidaire. Good luck installing an aftermarket stereo in this one. Completely flush air vents flank the console, which stands out in contrast to the black dash panel. On top of it all sits the information display, seen here showing the relationship between the "range extending" engine and lithium-ion batteries. What say you? We all know the production Volt isn't going to be as wild as the concept, but does this innovative center console meet your expectations? Also keep in mind that this might not be the real deal, but it seems to be from all appearances. Thanks for the tip, Brandon!

GM product chief Robert Lutz unveils the Chevy Volt EV concept. Click on the image for a gallery of high-res shots including the interior

GM Chairman Rick Wagoner and Vice-Chairman Robert Lutz just unveiled Chevy Volt Concept to the mass of press here at Cobo Hall. Although they didn't really reveal anything new that wasn't in the previous stories about the Volt, they did emphasize that they don't consider this car a hybrid. As far as GM is concerned a hybrid is a car that drive the wheels either electrically or via an internal combustion engine. Since this vehicle only drives the wheels via an electric motor, they call it an EV.
