We’re still five weeks away, but Vauxhall/Opel is among the first to blurt its Geneva show plan. It’s going to pull the rug off its version of America’s Chevy Volt electric-petrol car. Further electricity-related punnage ahoy: it’ll be called the Vauxhall Ampera.

Our version gets sleeker European design, and even better aero than the already very slippery US edition. You might vaguely recognise the nose: it comes from the Flextreme concept car. The bones of the shape, and the glass and interior, come from the Volt.

What else is new? Not a lot: GM has wisely decided that given the moon-shot technology in the Volt, trying to split its effort by doing a different version for this side of the pond makes no sense. So the engine’s still an efficient turbo dirtect-injection petrol rather than a diesel.

This is what I hate about cars now. In an effort to make them more aerodynamic for fuel efficiency, they all look the friggin same. Put them side by side and take off the grill and headlights and you won't be able to tell the difference...

And that first picture of the Vauxhall looks like a concept car. Shouldn't really be comparing a concept to a final product unless they're the same car.

edit - Just noticed that the grill on the Vauxhall looks too much like the penis, err, Prius grill...

If I could see the Vauxhall, I could tell you.

Both look a bit like a Honda Civic, Chevvy looks worse though.

The Vauxhaul - although both look like a turtle

lololol, electric cars.

I said vauxhall, but they should be nearly the same, just a different grill/light configuration.

They're so similar I can't decide. If there are more pics showing the Vauxahall's side profile and rear, then I'll know.

They're going to name the next one the "Resistra" and then be fucked for names.

Trying to emphasize my previous post. I can't find a good picture of the Vauxhall but it's going to be the same body since they're both GM. But seriously, look at these:

Other than looking at the front end (grill, head lights, emblem), you can't even tell the freakin cars apart. I'm not sure about the angle but the only difference is that the Volt looks like it kind of might have a rear end. I understand the fact that they're trying to be as fuel efficient as possible but you don't have to make all the cars look like an extended Beetle...
