ENAISSANCE CENTER, DETROIT—After serving up live feeds from General Motors’ operations around the world, a celebration designed to show the company’s strength and diversity, Rick Wagoner, Bob Lutz and Fritz Henderson brought out the big present: the 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

“The world has changed a lot in the last hundred years. In fact, it’s changed a lot in the last hundred hours,” CEO and chairman Wagoner said. GM is committed “to leading the industry… in the development of alternate fuel propulsion.”
Like the GMNext program that began in January, the centenary celebration paid very little attention Tuesday to the automaker’s past, and instead worked hard to convince the press and public that it has another century’s life in it. Vice chairman for global product development Lutz, and Jon Lauckner, vice president for global program management, revealed a bit about the production Volt, which is set to go on sale in November 2010.
