Re: What Chevy Volt Concept?

No, the Volt was never going to look just like the concept. The Volt concept car needed to reel in the people not only with the technology, but with style. It was probably meant to be a showcase for the E-Flex drivetrain and never go into production as the Volt. When the crowds said they wanted the Volt itself they did the testing and found they needed to change things up to be more reality-based and aerodynamic. The car will still be a looker and hold much of the style that the concept had, but interior room and aerodynamics take a priority.

I do hope the 1988 Cavalier wheels on the aero model make it to production.
