Watch a Chevy Volt come together in <2 minutes

With many people and organizations ranking the new Chevy Volt at the top of their lists, how about watching what they hype is all about! While this video can only provide a glimpse into how a Volt is assembled, it is still a cool educational video to watch.

GM has posted this video to their YouTube channel, so feel free to share this with friends and family.

This really reminds me of a certain thrill ride at Disney's Epcot put on by GM dubbed "Test Track". Which really reminds me how much I'd love to make it back down there. Vacation requests aside, what do you think is the coolest part of this video?

(For me its got to be the robots- amazing!)

Sounds like the old toy trick when putting together the kids toys at christmas. Simply follow the directions. Expensive cost when robots are doing the work, you don't feed them,pay them,receive bonuses and they can work 24 hours a day.Anything the WH has in it's hands is not the best for the people, as you well know by now - if not??? where have you been hiding all this time.
