The dance of the seven veils continues as General Motors recently began offering early, early test drives of its highly anticipated 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

Edmunds' Inside Line Senior Editor Dan Pund was among the early test drivers of the engineering development car, commonly known in the industry as a "mule."

Pund called his test drive more of a progress report than a final assessment and reports its development is coming along nicely. But much more is yet to be known about the Volt, that is supposed to come out near the end of 2010.
