Red lights in the front?

That can't be production... right?

**nadepalma** · 09-16-2008, 11:11 AM

Wow, looks much better to me in this photograph than the light-blue version we've seen before.

Perhaps GM needs a lesson in lighting and selecting an appropriate color-pallet for some press pieces, but this looks far more flattering to me than the previously seen picturs.

But its the interior that REALLY impresses me. Wow, great job GM.

Side Note: Remember those pics we saw of an production-intended interior when Phil LaBeau went behind the scenes at GM to report on their future? There was an interior shot that many suspected was of the Volt's interior --- doesn't this seem different from that interior? Perhaps that interior was for a product we dont' know about yet?

Very Nice!

This looks nothing like the car i saw at the DC Auto Show. As a longtime enthusiast of GM I have never been more disappointed then I am now. Both my father & I have been waiting to get one of these. And I can guarantee you that we will NOT. Yesterday i sold my Buick Roadmaster. My 98 Trans Am is also sold. Now i just need to get rid of my 06 GTO and GMC Sierra and be done with GM forever. They built a "punishment car", exactly what they said they did not want to do. This is got to be GM's biggest let down. Worse then building the Aztek, worse then killing the Impalla & Fiero & Camaro. Just ridiculous. This is the car they were pinning all their hopes on. They used the angular looking VOLT in so many marketing pieces yet they knew long ago it would never look like that. GM you have finally lost my loyalty.

What is up with that gear shifter in the middle below the media player controls?? Do you push it all the way in for park?

I completely disagree.

wtf it actually looks decent!

Apple called they want their center stack back! I wonder if apple helped with the interior?

Looks like the illegitimate child of a G6 and a Cobalt

good riddance. This car is an amazing piece that i think will be well received.

**BigAls87Z28** · 09-16-2008, 11:21 AM

HOLY WOW!! LOOK AT THE INTERIOR! The digital LCD display, the center stack, the whole lay out...man thats amazing!
I cannot belive how great this car is...really amazing.
Best looking hybrid car by far. Totally just put the hybird car segment in the rear view.

xPUMPx · 09-16-2008, 11:21 AM

i wanna sit in it and push all the buttons

prowlerjc · 09-16-2008, 11:21 AM

Looks decent and the interior is really fututristic looking. I like it a lot.

Still don't like it 40K worth, but that's a nice ride. Love those wheels!
