2011 Chevy Volt - From Show Car to Showroom
2011 Chevy Volt - Concept Car to Production - Automobile Magazine
Practical considerations reshape the Chevy Volt.

The 2007 Chevrolet Volt concept dazzled, even more than General Motors expected.

The changes also give the car lower drag, more cabin space, and a tighter turning circle. The designer of both vehicles, Bob Boniface, says that concept cars are "not a contract with the general public" and that the commercial product is a much better car. We tend to agree with him. Polarizing design can impress but lose sales. GM needs this car to succeed. So do we all.
