It appears the new Volt is a goddamn home run.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Edit: Yes we all know it looks vaguely similar to a Civic, now stop commenting that it looks like a Civic.

I would have a Volt over the new Prius.

It looks remarkably like a Honda Civic. Which is a significant improvement.

Good for them. I still think this is the best stop-gap drivetrain design for the next couple decades. It just hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. Doesn’t help that the ELR was DOA.

God I’d hope so. That monstrosity should’ve never left the drawing board.

Unfortunately it looks like an Acura and a Ford Focus had some catastrophic cross-breeding.

With that front grille it looks like an Acura version of the Civic.

I think it's rather attractive but whatever.

Except with gas being cheap hybrid sales are on the decline. Less gas for you, actually.

I agree, it looks more like an Acura anyway

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still my favorite mainstream hybrid.

Even I won’t defend that. Though I’d have to do something about the Volt’s Grillz.

I like it. Hopefully they got rid of the little chamber in the dash where the gear selector was. My dad literally couldn’t select a gear, because his hand was too big to fit.

It actually looks pretty damn good.

I liked the ELR a lot, but it was too expensive and not enough car to be successful. Not that I was going to buy one anyways.

I like it. I don't like the relatively terrible gas mileage. Chevy needs to do better.

Includes a center seat belt because - why? Still, the interior is MILES better. I drove the old one and I quite liked it, the new one looks legitimately good. Makes you wonder why GM can make world beating cars when it wants to (Corvette, Cadillac, Volt, etc) but absolute crap when its not in the mood.

Hopefully those cupholders are removable or something...

Thats where the battery is, so no. I was thinking “well, car seat” but not in that tiny space. I’m thinking its for the short trip down the street to drop a fellow off.

Young kids in a booster seat are fine there. As long as there aren’t adults on either side

HammerheadFistpunch > Tekamul 09/01/2015 at 12:58

yeah...I don’t think there is enough space between the belts for even a booster, but I could be wrong.

Tekamul > HammerheadFistpunch 09/01/2015 at 13:01

I’ve done the ‘squish three kids across a small bench’ before. The middle kid doesn’t sit until the other two are buckled. Definitely not suitable for daily use, but okay to squeeze in somebody else’s kid for a quick trip.

Dark grey or black plastidip would cure that real quick.

yeah, I think I would call it a 4+1 seater. In that technically it can seat 5, but don’t subject a person to that very often.

I think it went more traditional this time. Not just for the shifter but the entire interior is more Cruze-like.

Well that’s not broad at all..

Because people bitched about the lack of one even though with how the battery is designed a third seat in the back is basically impossible.

I don’t particularly like the designs that mimic the mesh of a real grill. Unless that is key to the aerodynamics of the car, I have a feeling someone will come up with another fix.

Looks like a new-Crude with braces.

Or an Acura ILX.

In other words, boring.

...but better than the next-gen Prius, probably.

I don’t think GM really makes absolute crap anymore...

The Sonic is a bit dated by now, but the new Spark looks a long ways nicer than the old one. Same with the Cruze and the new Malibu, as long as we set aside exterior styling, which is ‘love it or hate it’ on basically every Chevy. The Bolt is set up to be a game changer.

The whole Chevrolet brand is making impressive strides with the 2016 MY. It’s as much of a Renaissance as Ford made a few years ago

I agree, they are coming along nicely, but they still have a long way to go in their car market re: longevity/durability.

Nope, those cupholders sit along the battery tunnel.

They can put their nubs in the cupholders! (So awful... I’m sorry)

The new Volt looks great, I like that it has great driving dynamics. It makes me wonder how many generations until one of the mass manufacturers (toyota, honda, chevy, ford, etc) comes out with a hot hybrid...
