Chevy Volt
GM design team:
"We've got the green light to produce the Volt, I suggest we take the concept and make the production model look nothing like it."
"God we're brilliant."

The bar for designing hybrids is set so low, you'd really have to try to screw it up.

I wouldn't say it's a bad looking car, but it doesn't resemble the concept in any way. Considering the price tag, I can't see this selling well at all.

The same can be said about all vehicles in the low price point segment. Just because its a 1.6L econobox doesnt mean it needs to look like ***. I guess Mazda, Volvo and BMW are making some good looking compacts.

GM is hoping for a tax credit on it. Both candidates support tax credits in the case of the Volt and other cars like it.

Still, it'd be about a $33k-$35k car.

That's what I mean, it's a hefty price tag. It might be better looking than the Prius, but the Prius is over $10k cheaper. With that price, I just can't see it doing well.

The Prius is already obscenely overpriced as it is. If someone forced me at gunpoint to get a hybrid, I'd get the Civic Hybrid.
