I don't have time to watch the video now but thought I would post it.

Exciting.
It really has the potentional to be bigger then the prius was.
Not just another hybrid but a whole new idea brought to the market, and mass produced FIRST by GM.
That's something I don't get to say often. Hope it goes smooth and on time.

It appears to have more front overhang than the concept. Looks good.

Probably to help smooth airflow.

If they show 1 headlight I wonder what they are hiding.

Remember when the pics came out of the Camaro and they were strategically hiding the B-pillar?

I thought the Volt concept was a bit odd looking from the side and rear. There is no reason why an electric car has to look different than an ordinary 4 door sedan. We have come a long way in that development so use what works. Legroom, vision, trunk space packaging has already been figured out. Save time and money on that stuff and put the effort in the LI batteries and driveline.
From what we've seen of the nose and dash I like it better already.
