GM you blew it. You had something special with the Concept Volt and totally destroyed it with Production Volt. Most people had nothing but praise for the Concept design. I was seriously considering buying the Concept, but you turned it into a joke. Was that intentional? People like good looking cars GM. Its okay to have style.

I also thought it was interesting that most of the positive comments, which weren’t many, showed up at the top of this poll.

The concept is WAY better. Bait and switch. You’ve lost me already.

The production model is a completely different car and BORING.

Soccer Moms and high schoolers are going to pay $40k for a car.
They’ll be buying a $23k Prius instead.

The concept matches the hype of GM attempting to boast they can keep up with a start-up like Tesla. This reminds me of the battles between microsoft and any programmer in a garage. They can’t be as nimble and conceptually different as Tesla, and they can’t keep up with Toyota and Honda in product line diversification.

I would buy the production model, but it’s basically a malibu-Aura mix with a little nascar trickery in the decals to make it look somewhat like the volt concept.

My disappointment is with a concept that looks to be competing with a Tesla or Camaro and a production car that’s sliding in line with every other hybrid in the market and it’s coming 5 years after the fact.

Detroit is out of touch. Given the same features, the concept design would by far outsell the new design .. not to mention the competition.

I like the concept car.It’s what got me interesed in the Volt in first place.I believe that this a start in the right direction for America and we despritly need to cut our dependance on any fossil fueled vehicle. I will be very disapointed if I can’t buy the concept /Sport model. Its a beautiful car ,so BRING IT ON GM. BE A LEADER.
