China's getting the Chevy Volt as the Buick Velite.

Looks like GM is throwing Buick badges, as well as new front and rear bumpers, onto the Chevy Volt and calling it the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The Velite has a cleaner, more low-key look than the Volt IMO; I like how it doesn’t have a large, conspicously blocked-off lower grille.

It’s a far cry from this 2004 Buick Velite Concept, but oh well.

That front end looks way better than the one we get.

I really can’t get over how much this thing looks like a Civic. It’s not a bad thing, but it just screams Honda to me.

And this Buick is an Acura.

I agree and I think that is a good thing. It looks handsome, I’d buy it (well, I’d buy a volt too but I’d prefer this)

Yeah, Chevy has definitely moved to a Honda-esque look for some of their cars - the new Equinox resembles the HR-V up front, to my eye.

I hate this car, it is consuming ungodly amounts of my time and they will sell 5 of the god damned things.

Which is typical, much to my chagrin.

What do you mean? Did you work on the Velite?

It looks like what the 2nd gen Vauxhall/Opel Ampera would have been, which was/is always better looking than the Volt.
