    :D

    I can't believe they even have a die-cast model before they have the actual car. That's just, well, "sick" comes to mind.

    Everyone should buy one. This may be your only opportunity to buy a production model Volt.

    Serious question:

    How long is the model. 'm guessing roughly 17 feet(?) / 32 = ~ 6".

    Was it a lease on this as well? Or was it from the Parts Counter at the Dealership?

    I'm thinking GM is trying to sell their Hyped cars as Toys to recoup the money they've invested in Engineering costs to pay the Engineers' Salaries. Did they have Hasbro or Mattel (lead based) produce the toy?
