I like the production car. Looks like it is moving sitting in parking lot! Nice styling. Could you imagine talking motor head..."I got a new high voltage regulator and gold tipped connectors installed, fast as a four bolt main double humped 350 chevy with 202 valves. I only get 12 miles to kilovolt!..."Ha I would like the full sunroof but at the same time I would like to have a very dark factory tint. My feeling would not be hurt with the production version either. GM, just GITTER DONE!!! Jimmy,

I really dig the blue color. The price is what worries me. The closer we come to seeing this car in showrooms the higher the price seems to be speculated. I saw a show the other night on MSNBC that said over $40,000! I'm a blue collar guy, I can afford $30,000, maybe a little more if I'm not buying gas. A $45,000 car is out of my league, it'll break my heart if I can't afford this car. I've been a die hard Chevy guy for years, I grew up drooling over the big orange V8's under the hoods of Nova's and Camaro's, those days are gone. This is the 21st century, climate change and $4 gas are a reality. The Volt is the future of the automobile, and Chevrolet is taking the lead, that's something I really want to be a part of.

Not sure I like the rear end as much. And definitely miss the longer trunk. I also think GM missed a unique styling opportunity. In the concept car the roof frame wraps from the rear around the front to the other side. The front and side support pilons are black. I REALLY liked this. In the new production version the front pilons are colored and the front of the roof is black. I'd like to see them go back to the concept car styling on this one. Make the front pilons black. And paint the front of the roof edge to match the car. I think this would make for a very unique look and allow the Volt to really stand out, as the Prius does, but with a much cooler look. PS - Nice job on the comparison photos btw. I think from the side profile the production Volt is nice. Not sure I like the rear end as much. And definitely miss the longer trunk.

How about satin nickel, or brushed stainless steel for the console?
