GM has released more photos the production version of the upcoming Chevy Volt.
Only two of the photos are of the actual car while the other nine or so are of the engineers and designers hard at work on a clay version of the car. The two photos provide little details about the actual shape and design of the car. All that we can tell from the shots is that the headlights and foglights are going to be pretty high-tech. The headlights have a blue glow effect, while the foglights appear to be LEDs. The second photo is of the rear, but it only shows the placement of the Chevy and Volt emblems.
Bob Boniface, Director of Design for Chevrolet Volt had this to say about the Volt, “We believe the Chevrolet Volt’s exterior design is an attractive balance between aerodynamic performance and styling. If you look closely, you can see the rounded and flushed front fascia, tapered corners and closed grille are aesthetically beautiful and functional, enabling air to move easily around the car.”
The Chevy Volt is expected to go on sale sometime in 2010.

Hardly, the TSX is an abomination. This thing actually looks pretty good. If Chevy can keep the same quality the new Malibu has, they'll have a winner on their hands.

@Fake Gary:
If you're going to post fake comments under my name at least use proper punctuation. While I may be comma happy I do know when to use a period.

Why does a 3 cylinder engine have a 4 cylinder intake manifold?
Posted by Eric | August 14, 2008 7:04 PM

@eric
Because they're not using a 3 cylinder anymore.

You can put a honda generator in there, I hear they are real quiet.
LOL, if they did I wouldn't buy it. I'd rather have some US know how in the car. You can muffle anything. Nuff said!

I'll give it to GM, but they better not do what they did to the new Malibu and that is make it look good on the outside, but make it feel cheap on the inside and sluggish to drive.

another pathetic dialogue above. When are the schools starting again? I remember the time that school kids drove bicycles to school. They did their homework, cut grass etc. No time for blogs and nonsence discussions. No wonder, we are falling behind....
Anyway, this is a very importatnt car, for GM, for the whole USA car industry.
This the last car that is developped in the USA.
I predict that 5-10 years from now ALL US-branded cars will be designed, engineered overseas. Take note, this volt is the last tru-blue american car!

I also predict that I will still be the dumbest person around in 5-10 years time, colbatssman will still be gay, and dennisil will still be broke.

C-ss-man, dennisill,

I dont think he ownes a car, maybe his dominant friend has one.

This car is just to avoid legislation. A show car. They will make it to expensive and/or impractical for a larger market share.
They wait for the opinon to settle and ppl to get adjusted to high gas prices...its happended before.
Call me a pessimist, but they will make it too expensive. Sure, you will see some celebritys in these cars and some rich ppl but they don want to make it for the honest man.
