Leno said of the Volt, "If you didn't know, you might think it's a Cobalt or a Camry... I don't think there's a lot of cachet in having the first one. It's meant to be a people mover, not a people impresser." Some might agree with Leno since the Volt is not attempting to become a real visual pleaser but more of a standard bread and butter sedan that Americans can consider more along the lines of a Camry.
The focus and point of GM making the Volt less sporty and more sedan like was probably for the purpose of the model to be more considered as a family model instead of a sports vehicle. Although sports lovers may not enjoy the Volt, it should be noted that the Volt will feature up to 40 miles of driving on solely electric power, a very unique vehicle feature that can not be found on very many sports coupes or other models.
In the future it might turn out that there will be sports vehicles and other models that are electric. The Tesla Roadster is probably the sportiest out of all the electric models, but for now the Volt will do as being a great family sedan and also a somewhat sporty electric-gasoline hybrid.
