Volt Revealed

The concept looked like a hot hybrid sports coupe.

The product looks like a Chevy Prius.

It would be nice to see the car without a smug looking GM exec in the way.

Why is the GM exec doing a B-Boy pose in every shot?

Haha he is lol

I still don't think this thing is going to sell many units, until they put employee pricing on it

It just surprises me that they can go from a sexy sports coupe concept car to a somewhat dour, if modernly-styled, Prius knock-off and nobody seems to care.

The sad thing for them is, if I was in the market for a super green hybrid-electric vehicle, I would much rather go with a proven one like the prius than this thing. Chevy is just too late to the game imo

I would rather the 07 concept as the production car.

Is this a photo shoot for the car or the idiots at GM who want their pictures in the press. And yea dude is totally doing a B-boy pose lol.

I like it, but no where near as cool as the concept.....like not even in the same league. I hope this car is as good as they are hyping it up to be. I wonder where this technology will be used elsewhere in GM's lineup.
