2016 Volt review / first drive
GCR has posted a first drive report of the 2016 Volt, and they're calling it a "home run", with many meaningful improvements over the 1st gen.
2016 Chevrolet Volt First Drive: Plug-In Hybrid Home Run
Their conclusion: the biggest challenge the car still faces is how to market it to a general public that doesn't understand regular hybrids, much less PHEV's.

Sounds like Chevy really came through on this one. Nice progress made in almost every area.

did they tape the lower grille ? 
Turns out it's a factory grille-block with some not-so-fortunate surface detail that makes it look pretty crappy

Funny!
People apparently want to see a grille on cars, even when there's no need for one.

I think I like it. Oddly enough, I don't like the Acura similar grill.
