I think it would have more mass appeal with the concept car looks. Maybe they will make the pontiac version look closer to the concept model with suicide doors and a wider stance.

Learn from your mistakes and make the concept car or at least offer the sport model and family model I won't be buying it the first year anyway because I'm way far down on the list but dude you took a hot rod and made a station wagon.

Want to gain mass recognition of a new technology? Want to sell cars? GM and Chev. need new a new group of directors to ACTUALLY look at what people in this market segment want! This segment is trendy, hip, cool, younger, dedicated to making a difference, and interested in NOT looking like they are driving grandpas car around for the weekend! GM needs not to copy the competition.....i.e. Toyotas`prius, Honda, VW et all....but decide to LEAD by being different! Do you really see celebrities driving the new version of the Volt, or the concept.....and.....knowing this, is where recognition lies within the media and public!!!!!! WAKE UP GM......GOOD IDEA GONE BAD! Relase v2 of the Volt and in two years wonder why it is such a dud, and then they`ll say the public wasn`t ready yet! The public,consumer IS ready...just implement it corectly and watch the market explode in YOUR favor! Want to change the world?

Themselves, obviously! From the photos I have seen this morning, the "new" VOLT looks like every other GM car on the road ... wimpy. I've not owned a GM car since my 1982 Grand Prix was in the shop 14 times in 9 weeks (for overheating) when it was only a few months old. Needless to say, I traded cars after that! After seeing the prototype and reading about the VOLT, I WAS considering purchasing one, but not anymore! Get a clue, GM ... be a LITTLE more innovative that that! Who is GM trying to kid?

I liked the look of the concept car also. In fact I wanted to buy THAT car not a modified Cavalier! Now that the price is above $25 what makes GM believe anyone will buy it when the Prius and Honda hybrids are cheaper? I wanted a low price for the Volt also, not $35 grand. GM we need the Volt now.

What happen to the sexy concept car? I see some styling cues, but I think it lost it's Mojo! This car needed to be something new, bold and sexy. Instead we get the GM version of the Prius. Not the way to lead but rather follow. The Volt looks like a Prius and that is not a good thing.

I'd take the slightly lower EV range, in exchange for the superior, rockstar "look" of the concept. The concept car would have turned heads and had girls flocking to it :) How about offering the “cool version” (a copy of the concept car) for sale – even if it only gets 25-30 miles on all electric.

I would buy this car, but I'm a dork, and there are millions of us. DLO: If you have to go 43 miles, the range extender kicks in and you use an ounce or two of gas.

If GM had to compromise to get the range, make a bigger battery pack, or innovate the alternator configuration, brake regen or simply cut the distance. 40 miles is cool, but if you have to go 43 miles each day, what difference would this sad shape make to you then? Here, take my 27 cents and give me a sweet ride. Not only will I feel good about driving the concept volt, but it will capture the desire of the hundreds of thousands more who need to buy this car for GM and this vehicle to be a success. There is nothing beautiful about three dorks driving a car touting a green GM driving what is pictured here. I hope this is a stunt.

People don't believe it is an American car until I remind them of the Corvette. I think these photos are a ruse. GM has certainly made a lot of sad decisions, but I can't imagine the hundreds of designers let alone executives being able to fake excitement over this piece. I'm holding out hope for Tuesday.
