Representatives on hand said this is the same car that will be on display at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/la-auto-show\/\">LA Auto Show<\/a> next week. They added that this is a pre-production model with a lot of development miles on it. For all that, it looked pretty good, especially given the wet conditions. We were disappointed that nobody faked an electric shock when touching the car in the damp lot.<\/p>\n<p>Lack of hijinks aside, it seemed most people at the show liked the Volt, although several walked right past it, not realizing what it was. Good or bad, as important as this car is to GM, it looks pretty much like any other midsize sedan. On a day where Suzuki brought out all of their SEMA show cars and Tesla brought down a Roadster and Roadster Sport, the Volt and the Equinox fuel cell vehicle behind it still managed to draw a pretty big crowd. We snapped a few pics for our gallery, which you can check out below. We&#8217;ll bring you more about the Volt and everything else worth noting at the LA Auto Show next week.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-chevrolet-volt-at-cars-and-coffee\/low\/\">2011 Chevrolet Volt at Cars &amp; Coffee<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-chevrolet-volt-at-cars-and-coffee\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/cncchevyvolt---01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-chevrolet-volt-at-cars-and-coffee\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/cncchevyvolt---02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-chevrolet-volt-at-cars-and-coffee\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/cncchevyvolt---03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-chevrolet-volt-at-cars-and-coffee\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/cncchevyvolt---04_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-chevrolet-volt-at-cars-and-coffee\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/cncchevyvolt---05_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/28\/cars-and-coffee-chevy-shocks-the-crowd-brings-volt\/\">Cars &amp; Coffee: Chevy shocks the crowd, brings Volt<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:05:00 EST.
