The 2010 Chevy Volt has been a landmark project not only for its daring powertrain and breakneck development cycle, but also for GMs general openness with the media during the process. Along the way we've been invited in to see the development first hand, even spending a whole day with the Chevy Volt. But despite the buddy-buddy, easy-publicity PR maneuvering, up until the wee hours of this morning, we still didn't know what it looked like. Now that we've seen it in all but minute detail, it's time to compare the concept against the reality. Front End Given that the original concept body had terrible aerodynamics, a radical change to the front end was not unexpected. In truth, the front corner of the Volt has been getting the Lutz-style sneak preview for months now; so too the smooth, swept-back corners and flush-mounted headlights. It appears the intake detail at the base of the windshield is retained and the lower grille grows to the main intake, with the side intakes...

newVideoPlayer("/TransformersChevyVolt.flv", 494, 400,""); Here it is kids, our first look at a 2010 Chevy Volt , complete, and in-motion on the set of the still-in-production Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen . We got a glimpse at the upper half of the Chevy Volt earlier this evening, but this is the whole enchilada; tail end, blacked out roof, front end and even the final Volt badge on the back. There happen to be other cars doing their thing like the Corvette Centennial Design Concept and of course the Chevy Camaro and Optimus Prime, but who cares? We finally get to see the skin of revolutionary car we can't get for at least another year and a half for an indeterminate price! Yay! Oh, wait... [ Transformers Live ]

It appears the top half of the 2010 Chevy Volt has been photographed on set at the filming of the new Transformers 2 movie and it gives away a lot of the styling cues which have been hidden from view up until now. The front of the greenhouse on the production Chevy Volt bears little resemblance to the concept, with smooth A-pillars, and a sweeping roof line, the side glass gets a more traditional, and actually quite nice shape. The tail definitely take inspiration from the original though. galleryPost('volttophalf ', 3, '2010 Chevy Volt Peeking Over A Hill'); The back end does remind of the concept a lot, with a short rear deck, C-pillar and tail lights forming a small spoiler and we can just make out the crisp, aerodynamically-inspired line running up the trailing edge of the rear fender. The side mirrors and plug in port have obviously been made to stand out with a distinct, contrasting silver coat of paint pointing the way to the tech lying beneath. All this leads us...
