Why are they calling it the 2010 Volt if it's going to begin production in 2010? It'll be called the 2011 Volt. Are they trying to convince the public it's closer to coming out... like dangling a carrot in front of them to keep their attention?

Able to? Probably. But when is the last time you've ever seen an all new model come out in the 11th month of a calendar year and be given the model year of that calendar year? I can't think of a time that has ever happened. These days if an all new car comes out January 2005, they'll still call it a 2006. Are they going to start producing the 2011MY 6 weeks later when it becomes January?
