I am hoping they end up with a significant drop in WEIGHT and a significant improvement to CDa.

They could then make that existing 42 mile battery a 50 mile battery and improve gas MPG, sadly with the numbers given it aint gonna happen.

Likely a very similar car with a slight weight savings and slight improvements.

Hopefully they can get the city MPG up to the 60mpg a prius can achieve, that really is what kills the volt.

Oh and my volt seems to get 51 miles on a charge except for the last few cold days, I am hoping I am not seeing a trend. 9kw to go 25mph seems very excessive.

Ah well.
