What they really ought to do is produce a "Volt XFE."

With tweaked software and few more aero concessions (like, say, narrower tires?) they could court the tiny but vocal community of hard-core efficiency nuts with a car that stands on its own merit.

Constant marketing crud just breeds more cynicism.
