thats totally a rip off version of the USDM CL9 interior. but the exterior is similar to the CU9 or TL.

sorry guys that looks nothing like a CL9... maybe the headlights look similar but that's about it.

The honda insight on the other hand...

havent you seen the new adds... other companies (including GM) only have concept cars... or plan to build these environmentally friendly cars...

HONDA IS ALREADY IN PRODUCTION OF THEM! :)

Honda's still making Parallel hybrids (older inefficient technology) with the insight,civic and the FCX is an engineering exercise.Not a real viable platform for a long time if ever.

see my blog for info http://www.greenblog.com.au/

The Volt is a proper plug in car and never needs fuel theoretically as its a SERIES hybrid so therefore much cooler and way more useful to me and most other people. ( see the difference between series and parallel in my greenblog)

I really love how it looks. I also love the simplicity and elegance of the drivetrain with the motor running constant revs its highly efficient. Not that it will run much for most people.

This is the first of the serious electric cars or REEV for mainstream useage.

Im excited.
