Hrmmmmmm, now it's a 4 door.

To make it more affordable they had to move it onto an existing platform. My Chevy dealer friend was worried it would look like the current Malibu (not an ugly car by any means) because he'd seen several powertrain mules in Malibus. This car is based on the smaller Astra platform. Hmmm. It kinda looks like the love-child of a Malibu and a Prius.

The original Volt design WAS a 4 door, but cleverly disguised as a coupe.
