GM will use its press conference tomorrow at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show to announce the opening of a new lithium-ion battery production facility in Michigan, according to a report in The New York Times. A new advanced battery test facility located at the company's global electric-vehicle engineering center in Warren, Michigan, is also part of the plan. The two facilities will provide battery packs for the upcoming 2011 Chevrolet Volt and possibly a production version of the Cadillac Converj, a two-door coupe that uses the same Voltec propulsion system as the Volt. -- Ed Hellwig, Senior Editor, Inside Line

Wow. No comments on this yet? There are already 17 over on the new Taurus entry.
I guess people are more interested in the norm... even enthusiasts.

This design is gorgeous! I think Congress should be summoned before the Big Three to answer why they haven't crafted anything so good as this in the past four years. Oh yeah, and why the economy and banking industry has been trashed on their watch.
