Chevrolet Volt MPV5 Concept Unveiled

The only one who misses our SUV is our daughter...but she likes Mommy's new green Fiesta so all is good in the universe.

 

I agree with the observation that the design seems dated.

I wonder why GM would stick with a 1.4l engine that has been the point of so much negative comment? And, especially in a heavier vehicle? I cannot believe in GM's vast world-wide empire they do not have a better ICE. Plus, why not install a larger fuel tank. 300 miles range would be absolutely frustrating.

I also wonder how much of the final decision GM engineers are permitted to make? Thinking back over the years, GM has marketed a number of really inferior products that make it hard to believe that professional engineers could have been involved in the final decision. Also, look how many of Chevy brand names are listed in Consumer Reports latest issue in a feature entitled Worst of the Worst. GM accounts for 50% of the total list.

GM has been labeled "to big to fail." I suspect they are so bureaucratic top heavy and political, they are "too big to succeed."

 

front view: yuck!

back view: hmm, not bad

Hmm... ok older thread but I've never seen this concept before.

It's like they took an HHR and put in a Voltec powertrain.

I hope they think again about that extended rear windshield. It's unnecessary and IMO unwanted.

 

I have neighbor with Orlando and i think it doesnt really look good at all.

 

yea, I like the back view...

 

Still stunning in its ugliness, hopefully they won't put that to production.
