Spy Shot: Production interior of Chevy Volt

Link to Autoblog

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.

Looks like a nice departure from the satin nickel scheme everyone's got going on these days.

The Volt interior shot from the Charlie Rose show interviews with Lutz showed something quit different in clay form, but nothing says that is what it was going to for sure look like.

Well now, here's a pic of the same pic with it specifically saying "Volt"

Here's the pic from the ABC news video...

That looks very cool; very high-tech and 'iPod' .

Didn't we see a look at the new Equinox interior in spy shots? It's easier to change the Vue's interior to share that of the Equinox.

The Volts center stack is pure touch.

Here's a pic of the new Equinox interior for reference.
