2010 Chevy Volt to ‘Save Detroit,’ Looks F’ing Stupid

General Motors revealed today, on its 100th anniversary, the 2010 Chevy Volt–the car that’s expected to ’save Detroit,’ where the American automakers have seen steep decline in sales with the rise in gasoline prices and more affordable, fuel efficient cars coming out of Japanese companies. Cool, you might think. Saving US automakers is a good thing. And we’re not trying to take a dump on your dreams, Detroit. But just one question: Why the hell does it have to look so F’ing stupid?

We wouldn’t be so pissed, except that the original Volt concept they revealed a while back looked way more rad. Tough, sleek and 100-percent badass, the concept Volt would be a car we’d be psyched to drive. But instead we got a car that, let’s face it, looks like every single other car on the road. We like that it can operate at highway speeds for 40 miles on a single charge without using a drop of gas, but why mess up a good thing?

Every single time they introduce a cool concept, they just go an f**k it up. Sure, maybe it’s more practical or some other such nonsense, but anything gained in practicality is lost in looking like a total douche–or at least about as interesting as a Paris Hilton thought process. So next time you come out with a cool design for a groud-breaking car, stick to the original and let someone else make the boring rides.
