GM is running a fleet of about 80 pre-production Volts, are producing 10 a week now, which are meeting initial targets. They are undergoing rigorous tests, and they're getting very positive results.

And actual production for the consumer will start in November of 2010. Then will hit full scale mass production in 2011, and then ramp that even more in 2012.

Price hasn't been decided yet, somewhere in the vicinity of $40,000, hopefully a little less. on the assumption they charge $40,000, minus the $7,500 from the federal government means the car would cost around $32,500 which is not much more than a normal medium-sized car.
