Electric Psychedelia Is Part of Chevy Volt's Design Scheme
By John O'Dell November 29, 2009
Don't get us wrong, we kinda like it.
The prototype 2011 Chevrolet Volt we drove Sunday had these unusual door panels - a sort of new age. electrified take on a psychedelic motif from the '70s, all hexagons and circles and swoopy lines.
Chevy dealers will be able to offer several different designs, says Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah.
Interior colors apparently will be various combinations of black, silver and white.
The only thing we find iffy about the Volt door panel inserts (available on the front doors only) is that they are made of a very hard and shiny plastic, but maybe that will change, too, by the time production begins in a year.
Other Edmunds reports on Sunday's dive can be found at Inside Line and Edmunds.com. An Edmunds exclusive video can be viewed here.
