That is Opels version of the Chevy Volt. I don't think the Volt will do that well with $2 gasoline, could be $5 by 2011 but who knows. European customers will defiantly see some big savings since they are still in the $5+ range

 

Are you talking Ampera vs. U.S. Volt sales?

I really like the styling of the Volt, the Ampera in comparison looks too busy for me. I could see GM selling more of these vehicles in Europe due to the gas prices that you mention..

Remember though, the Volt will also be sold in Europe. The Ampera isn't the European Volt, just the Opel Volt Now we need the Converj to come along!

 

I was talking more US vs. Europe sales. I didn't know the Chevy Volt was going to be sold in Europe. I thought The Opel was going to be their Volt. Selling the Converj should bring some needed profit for this EV platform.

 

Gasoline is already well above $2/gal here on the west coast, where the Volt would more than likely see its biggest sales figures. By 2011, assuming the economy recovers, gasoline prices should rise accordingly. FWIW, hybrids are still quite popular here, regardless of gas prices. Folks seem to be leaning toward efficient vehicles if and when they decided to purchase something.

 

My question is, with Opel going independent from GM will the stable be able to use the Volt/Eflex technology to pruduce this vehicle?

 

I think it looks awesome. Can we get this here?
