When I went for the ride in the Volt,

The tech said that the Volt was built on a certain platform (I don't remember which) he said that was the same platform as another couple of cars. The only one on the list that I remember him saying was the Cruze.

Physically, the Cruze and Volt look very similar.

Again, I do think that comparing the Volt to any standard gas car is apples to oranges, but if you are going to do that, the Cruze is the right car to compare it to.
