Still, I think this is a perfect example of where GM has gone off the track and why they are facing bankruptcy. Apparently their professional automobile engineers didn't have a clue about how to add aerodynamic efficiencies to a car that requires them. Instead they made it look like a gangsta car. It was just more image over reality that has plagued Detroit for decades. It's almost like they didn't even think about the car as a system.

That Opel is a beautiful thing, and much more attractive than the new Volt. If the production Chevy Volt looked like that I'd be on the waiting list.

Just remember that Opel is also Detroit!
