The concept was designed to spark interest.

Reality: the car needs to be practical, meaning roomy, on an existing platform, and very important....aerodynamic.

The pic comparing the Prius to the Volt shows just how ugly Toyota styling is. The Volt looks like a BMW compared to the new Prius.

This thing is designed for MAX effficiency, do not expect Corvette syling. Maybe it's just that GM made a mistake by making the concept look so cool.
THe Corvette is stylish and low drag...don't think the two can't go together.
