if this is the future body styling of the Volt, close the shop.

Right you are K-dawg about cameras. I think however that there is a certain want for whisper quite on this new era for the re-birth of electric cars. I imagine that later there will be more attention paid for the whole Fahrvergnugen experience and that might come from simple old fashion competition. Fisker autos have added some sound.

Cheers! Higgins

What a brilliant coup by GM! A 40 mile commuter that looks, drives, and costs just like a compact luxury sport sedan. Looks like the engineers are close, but the marketing is more than a little bit off target. I got in line for one at $30,000, which was a stretch for a commuter car, but Hey, I want to support the US. Now we have an (apparently) expensive battery pack built in South Korea. Thud.

I hope I’m wrong but I see a big flop for this car, which is a real shame because the drive train makes sense. One more for the Management Team at GM. I wondered what happened to Alfed E. Newman – guess he runs marketing and design at GM now. They need to decide on one or the other: a 40 mile commuter that is priced like a 40 mile commuter, or a hot rod luxury car that gets more than a smirk in passing from the Yuppies who have the dinero to buy, but are all headed toward, a Lexus or a BMW or Audi. What does GM perceive as a market for this car? They don’t even know whether to lease or sell the battery, let alone the whole vehicle.

When this turns out to be another EV-1, will they blame the battery again?

What a waste of talent and resources!

i agree with post 291 take out the ice and generator and run battery’s
get it over 100 miles a charge and sell for under 20k, then you will have something. lead acid battery’s are cheaper and stronger than 10 years ago, or go nimh, way stronger and cheaper than in the 90’s
here is a fun fact

The EV1 came in two “flavors”: one using advanced NiMH batteries, and the other using cheaper lead-acid batteries. With PSB EV-EC1260 lead batteries, this EV1 had a range over 100 miles on a charge. The cost of this off-the-shelf battery pack is no more than $4,800.

#242 N Riley Says, “I like the “idea” of the L and D settings for the forward shift, but I don’t know why they picked those particular letters (especially the L). … Does any one know the reason for the use of the letter L?”

I think it is because they behave similarly to the “D” (drive) and “L” (low) that have been on the automatic transmissions that drivers have been using for decades … part of the “no lifestyle change required” philosophy.
