    Thumbs up Chevrolet Volt Revealed!

    The production version of the Volt was revealed yesterday in the US, pictures are below.

    It will go on sale in 2010 for a price of $30,000-$35,000US.

    Thoughts?

    Pictures are working now

    I don't really like the back, but I don't mind the rest of the car. $35,000US is a bit rich though I think.

    Nope, not a fan at all.

    Interior is nice though, look at the colour screen dash screen behind the steering wheel!

    hmm, stitching on the driver head rest is uneven....

    but yes appears to be a design copy of the prius and front end resembles a BF MK11 XT falcon in the headlights and grill shapes

    im blaming this crap on the movies... all "future" movies make these stupid bubble cars like this... its just bloody stupid.

    Pointy, pointy is where its at. Why do i like the suzuki GSXR? cos its mother ****ing pointy front end. Bubbles are ****.. they have only two uses. 1. Baths, 2. For sick people.

    Stupid ass car designers...

    PHAYL.

    Why oh why did they make it look like Prius and the rest of the hybrids... What about something low slung and sexy? I swear its like they don't want me to buy one.

    I think it looks quite good. When they bring out a 6.0 litre version I'll consider one.

    I like it, not for the looks but anything electric is +5 to coolness. On the first day I hear wreEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE followed by a thick cloud of smoke on the street I will know the future has arrived and I will have a big smile in that moment. Might cause me to crack a few new wrinkles by then but it'll be worth it

    Now that there is actually a market for electric cars GM won't have to kill this one like they did with the EV1.

    i dont know why there is quite honestley, prius's are a slow pos, hybrids are the most unenvironmentally friendly car on the market,

    reason you ask,

    batterys cost $5,000 to replace, and they require replacement every 7-10 years, now if youve seen the batteries they basically fill the boot of the thing and these have to be disposed of, lead-acid batteries = environmental FAIL

    Not 2 bad!
    If i was looking @ buying a hybrid i would consider it.
    Its about time that Holden should also follow suit and start looking @ hybrid development, fuel wont be around for ever, and internal combustion engines are really an ancient technology, I think as a society we are starting to reach the point where we really need to take a look @ cheaper/cleaner forms of transports that is better for the environment and for our children's future ect Now don't get me wrong i love my petrol cars just as much as the next bloke but im all for development as far as bettering our future goes! anyway just my 2c worth!
