Color me disappointed.
I was really hoping for something that was more of a Prius V type roofline or a full on CUV.
The Volt would be a PERFECT car for how I drive - I fall into the narrow group of folks who drive within the electric range but regularly need the range extended to make trips using the series hybrid system. However we found the backseat way to cramped and with a third person in the backseat the cargo area lacking.
It's really hard to say exactly how this car will look when we see the actual model, but I rather like the restyle. It looks more like a mainstream car than the last one did. At least what little I can make out from the universally crappy photos of the car...
I was hoping to see something Voltec-related based off of the Orlando CUV, but maybe that's down the road.
Something about my comments on this article is triggering the spam filter even though I checked very carefully for "s!d."
I like this car... a surprising amount. I'm *very* curious how much it will lease for, given that owning a PHEV at this early stage in the technology is a bit foolish. I'm usually looking at cars that have at least some performance orientation, but I also really like the s!lence and smoothness of electric motoring, and would consider doing something different this time for the right lease deal.

They really went out on a limb with styling this time. Good job, GM. Glad to see you're making the most of the bailout dollars.
