The Volt is boring, ugly, and slow. I don’t know what they were thinking. It looks like it was designed by soccer moms in a focus group session.

- throwawayboise 6y agoYep. I think a big reason why Teslas are so popular and other EVs (and to a lesser extent Hybrids like the Prius) are not is the styling. Teslas look like normal cars. The others look like caricatures. It's subjective, but the styling of Volt, Bolt, Leaf, Prius, i3, id.3 are all turn-offs for me.

- cptskippy 6y agoIt's a compliance car, they only wanted to sell as many as they needed to. This is pretty standard procedure. The car is passable but unappealing in most regards beyond the power train so that it appeals to only a very small segment of the population.
- wmeredith 6y agoI'm assuming you haven't driven one. They are not slow. My wife uses one asa. commuter car and it's fantastic. We just went through a long research phase of hybrids and surprisingly ended up with a Volt. (Chevy isn't really on my radar otherwise.)
