That's how I look at the car. A new direction for the automobile...that just happens to appease the tree-huggers...maybe they'll put a 2-seat sports car on the E-flex chassis one of these days...who knows, but it's possible!
I believe it was also Lutz who said they weren't ruling out the possibility of a performance-oriented Volt.

Oh, and the same technology went into this...



And that is definitely not a grandma mobile, nor is it a tree-hugging hippie mobile.
