Citroen DS5 production-ready a Frankfurt

It still looks concept-y good to our eyes, and has a more than fighting chance of making inroads against more conservatively styled competition.

GM to modify Chevrolet Volts to guard against battery fire

General Motors will add a structural reinforcement and devices to prevent overfilling of the battery cooling system in the Chevrolet Volt hybrid sedan to prevent the possibility of a fire after a side crash.
