I guess it was to be expected. Chevy wants to sell the Volt to everyone, so a sporty version probably would have as much mass market appeal.

but it looks better than a Prius.. they stated numerous times that it would differ greatly from the concept due to drag and such. If it looked like a wide boat it would get horrible milage, shape it like a rounded roll of bread and it gets better who knew? That and I must say Chevy's new corporate grill is looking nice on rounded surface's and I tend to friggin' hate corp. grills.

Toyota denounced the series system in the Volt for a long time before they finally admitted they had started working on one of their own, so that may well be true. Too bad it'll probably keep looking like the Prius which is somewhere south of a Pontiac Aztek in the beauty department. In 10 years, ALL hybrids will be series and parallel setups will be extinct. Parallel sucks.

the shape is in the name of aero, function over form yet they still had to make it appealling, i think they did a great job. Aero is greatly important as this is the first mass production plug in electric car.
