What color would you like your 2011 Chevy Volt?
Click above for gallery of the 2011 Chevy Volt in more colors
Reaction to the production 2011 Chevy Volt and its aerodynamic design appears to be split, with the majority of folks favoring the more macho flanks of the Volt Concept. But the production Volt's shape is a concession to function, being as aerodynamic as possible to improve the efficacy of the car's regenerative braking system. While the shape of the car isn't going to change, you will be able to order your Volt in colors other than Baby Blue hue it's wearing in the leaked images from yesterday. Autoblog reader Jesse Shipe was kind enough to photoshop some quick color changes on the Volt, and we've decide to take ours in black.

The way it's colorized lends sort of a matte finish to the black. Do want.

what i dont understand is that with all of the photoshop expertise floating around out there, no one has made an attempt at removing the old d-bags from the photos!
someone please make this happen! then we can look at all the fancy colors....
why not the LS2LS7? 12:40PM (9/09/2008)
What would it look like if the model had a blue pinstripe suit instead of black?

Missed the A-pillar above the arm.
Black for me too.

Yeah I noticed it as soon as I sent them to AB, naturally. I did fix it and sent them a link to new versions, so hopefully they'll update them.
I added a yellow version as well.

I believe we have consensus...I would take the black as well.

but only if it's the rich matte black of the photoshop. a generic auto-glossy black would be pretty boring.

Probably orange but not that orange. The orange that the General uses.

Waiting for someone to post a ps version with the execs deleted, seems easy enough for a ps expert... let's get to work.

Whatever color looks good with that guy's caterpillar and 90s tie.

I like the purple too. Is this thing looking more and more like a Honda Civic or what?

i still feel like this thing kinda looks like a Civic. Is this part of the comprise for aerodynamics?

I'm tired of seeing this car everyday, is there really anything new to report?, Good luck to Chevrolet, Id like to see it succeed but I feel its over publicized and will be overpriced, I fear GM has made promises they wont be able to keep because of time restraints and high expectations they have put on their engineers.
Develop the car then offer it for sale when its truly ready to be a Great car and a Success.

Why not use a full image with the fat boy removed?

Like they said, I just did these quick, but it gives you an idea. I kind of like the blue myself, but I'm partial to that color.
Also, I totally missed the little bit of the roof beside his arm. Sorry!

Most hybrids and alt fuel cars look like little wimp-mobiles. I really had hoped the american version would have some machismo to it. That thing looks like Vibe. I guess I'll be waiting for the tech to move down the rest of the lineup and into something I would want to be seen driving. Build something that looks like G8 and put the Volt drivetrain in it. I'd happily return to the land of Pontiac for that.
