I remember leaving a comment at ABG when the Volt was originally unveiled: "Who Killed the Aerodynamicist?"

GM has shown they're capable of some truly impressive design work when the aerodynamicists are allowed to tell the stylists to go stuff it.

I'm still bothered by the fact that the chief designer/stylist has spouted off in the press that he wants to make the car look like something "you don't have to apologize for". If aero efficiency demands apologies, they need to put their marketing department to work.
