Not this other one they are showing. I'm not interested anymore no matter what technology is in this car. My goodness, I was waiting for the release of the original Volt.

This ugly Mali-Prius wanna be is a disgrace to America. Nice work GM! Sure, I will pay $15,000 more for this fugly thing than a Prius..it will only take me 40 years to make those "savings" back. GM, you are an embarassement to my father who worked 35 years for you!!!!!! This “Volt” deserves a name more like “Sparky” To think I was telling family and friends the Volt would be my next new car?

Nevertheless, it is a huge step forward to be able to own and operate a car that will go 40 miles without requiring a drop of fuel. that alone makes the Volt interesting.

Looks like a Prius-wannabe. Why unveil something that looks like crap, and can't be driven until 2011? Let it stink under wraps until production, and maybe its performance will make up for its fugly looks. What a crappy looking car. Looks like a Prius-wannabe.

First they start with all these wild performance claims of a pure electric vehicle, then they scrap that and go for the hybrid. Now we have a hybrid in a cool chassis? Nope, let's dump all the cool features, grab our cheapest piece of junk car and make a few minor style changes, and we're good. No one will care right?<br><br>No way this makes it into my driveway. Ever. Green or not, it still has to look like a car, and this is not it. Boy did they mess this up.
