After a slow start, the Volt was named the North American Car of the Year in 2011, as well as the 2012 European Car of the Year, among many other awards and accolades.

Chevrolet and the Crowned Shield, sister companies 'parented' by GM, know how to share. As such, it's not surprising to learn Chevy will be loaning Caddy the leading-edge technology fitted in the Volt. The reason the Crowned Shield has asked Chevy to borrow the Volt technology is another story. It has car enthusiasts, like us, on the edges of our seats.
