I think it looks great, and much better than the Volt. Few simple changes gave it a lot more of character. I also think the range of the car have been decrased in order not to anger the fuel companies, yet 60kms would be sufficient for my usual daily need. I may only hope the price for this car will not be too crazy.

You are kind of right, the batteries have been restricted and only go down to about 70-80% of their full charge. But it isn't because of the oil companies, its so that they last 20 times longer.

They can't afford to put a high price tag on this car. This car is literally a global platform, it's badged as a Chevy in America, an Opel in Europe and Holden in Australia. GM wants it to be their golden egg.

Please bring those Opels to the US market...especially the diesel versions! GM cars with german engineering technology may be the last chance...

Ford should also bring the models from Europe, cause the ones they make in the U.S. suck big time.

I have to say that that version of the Volt is a lot better looking, the whole front end it perfect.
