The Volt designers are intentionally staying away from "science project" looks (their words). Despite the common belief that one reason the Prius sells as well as it does is its unique aero design, the Volt people are aiming for more "mainstream" appearance, according to the reports I've read. Paraphrasing: "something you won't have to apologize for."
