The hot, hot, hot Opel Flextreme - See the video

Way better than the Volt!

I love this Opel Flextreme. Forget the Chevy Volt, I want the Flextreme, baby!

After checking out some video on this beauty, I'm ready to move to Europe if that is the only place where GM is going to sell the Opel Flextreme hybrid. The Volt is just too crudely American for my design tastes.

If I could whisper into Bob Lutz's ear I'd tell him to turn this beautiful baby into a dual mode hybrid right now! This is a Prius contender! This car as a dual mode hybrid, rather than an E-Flex hybrid, would instantly put GM's hybrid vehicles on the map. Convert it to an E-flex later. Give it to us now!!!!!

If you want to check out some video on the Flextreme, check out the link below. And, if you've never been to an autoshow to see a debut of a concept car, there is also a great episode there as well.

Europe's Chevy Volt: The Opel Flextreme

Almost next-gen Prius-like?

I was pretty sick yesterday, yet when I saw this new Opel Flextreme hybrid concept yesterday, I felt a little better. Of course, then I realized this was GM's take on a Flex Drive car for Europe, not America, and I felt sick again.

OK, all kidding aside, I like this Opel hybrid far better than the Chevy Volt - America's Flex Drive concept car. Sure it kind of resembles Toyota's next generation hybrids, but it also resembles GM's fuel cell vehicles.

More important, however, can GM....Finish: Europe's Chevy Volt - The Opel Flextreme hybrid
