Volt Coming Sooner Than Planned

GM may launch the Chevy Volt a couple of months early, just dont expect to be first in line for whats going to be a limited production in the beginning.

Whitacre has pushed a lot of changes throughout the company, including a discussion about bringing out the Volt early in a limited fashion, so long as GM can ensure its up to quality standards, according to two people familiar with the talks.

"It could be late September, October," a person familiar with the planning said.

GM has already started producing the battery packs for the Volt, and production facilities are getting set for April test vehicles.

An earlier release at limited numbers would basically allow for more customer feedback earlier.  It would also be a great PR move.
