OMG: New pics of the production Volt leaked
As the most anticipated electric vehicle set to hit the mass market, the Chevy Volt is starting to take on a celebrity personality of its own -- it definitely has its own paparazzi. First, GM released teaser pics to get us excited about the Volt's design features, then we watched as the paparazzi managed to snap top-secret photos on the set of the new Transformers movie. Now, the EV's public image has ascended another rung in the ladder of celebrity status: leaked photos of the Volt partying with GM execs.I'm not exactly sure why people are so enamored with Chevy's EV, but the leaked images have taken the internet by storm. Originally intended to go live at GM's centennial celebration next Tuesday, these images give us the best look yet at the Volt's production body style. As you can see, GM seems to have toned down the futuristic look of their first EV -- a move that some including myself are a little disappointed by.
Early body style concepts looked edgier and more agressive; these photos make it look more like a regular mainstream sedan. Does this mean the Volt doesn't have the performance characteristics worthy of a sporty-looking design?
