Now this is much better looking than the Volt. Too bad it will not look anything like this in the final production version.

Looks less aero than the Volt. Sharper bend at the windshield, bigger wheels, open nose, longer front end, etc. No side mirrors or door handles on the opel, but that obviously won't last beyond the concept stage.
Roofline looks good, though. And the shape isn't as bad as the original Volt concept.

Makes me think "Mazda" for some reason...

It's got these funky active panels in the air extraction slots:

Hit the "next photo" button to see them disappear... I'm not clear on what they do?

Round off the goofy peaked "shoulders" above the rear wheels and this could start to look like a crisper version of Jaguar's "crouching cat".
