I think they HAD to do the faux grille for a couple of reasons.....sedans or luxury (vs. sports) cars with a grill-less snout are often rejected by the public who associate a prominent grille with power and prowess. But the Volt not only does not need a grille since it is a bottom breather for better aerodynamics, a true grille would hurt mileage by increasing drag. I applaud Chevy for the evolution of the concept to the production car that may prove to be a game changer. Bummer that the buying public rejects covered wheel wells or the mileage would be even better.
