looks like fridge from back to the future...

i dont think they are real - just look at the placement of lock/unlock buttons, it makes no sense at all.

 

I was really diggin the concepts sharp lines and low slung roof, the proportions were very racy, this looks more mundane, like a Scion. The center stack reminds me of my white microwave, eh.

Better:

 

I looked again, I really like that console!

 

I hope they make the buttons more recognizable via touch in the final product. If not I see it as a major HCI faux pas.

The mirrors in silver/chrome look IMO ghastly as do the fender vents. Make the mirrors body colored and I can live with the exterior just fine.

It will be very interesting to see how they balance the price and features on this car when it finally goes on sale. If it's $40K I feel it will be a very niche product.

 

oh wow i didnt known prius is that cheap in the states

here in canada it is about 27k starting up to 33k

 

The interior looks like something I would find on my microwave or coffee maker...

 

So what is this really the return of the EV1 looks sweet but GM should give them away, nation wide FU toyota campaign with 50% off followed by the blow us during the holidays

Should be interesting to see how these make the prius more reasonably priced, not so much it is what it is over priced

 

the interior reminds me of my old LG chocolate phone i had

i'm still a-ok w. this car (even w. the funny interior) ... i like that it doesn't scream "i'm ugly, but that's ok because i'm eco"

 

Oh please, and the Prius isn't being propoganda-ized? There have been TDI deisel engines for years that have equalled the mileage coming out of the Hybrid synergy drive.

How about Toyota puting a Diesel onto their Hybrid powertrain? VW has, and it yeilds 70mpg.

 

Exterior's looking good! Look forward to it when GM releases it in September of 2065 (at this rate).

Yeah, the center stack does look like an Apple design but from about 5 years ago. Still not bad though.

 

I am very excited about this car and really hope it does well.

 

I'm still undecided, definately need to see this in person!

 

I love it! Much better design than a prius

 

Anyone else think GM should make an alternative model as well under one of the other divisions? Saturn seems like the logical choice. Basically, they would be the same basic car each with a completely different brand of styling inside and out. Think Solstice and Sky. This is assuming GM can even produce enough of these (batteries) to meet demand. I'm not a fan of how GM usually builds 3-4 versions of one car but I think two of these would be the way to go.

 

ive had the idea to let saturn have all the fuel efficient or alternative fuel cars

but i guess since electric vehicle will be the main trend in the long-term, might as well invest it in chevrolet, their main stream brand
