I'm not convinced a larger engine is a good move for the Volt. :?:
I think they needed to do something for the Cadillac ELR as those buyers would expect reasonable/comparable performance. So if they had to engineer the Voltec platform for the ELR they could add it as an option on the Volt by my way of thinking.
I would think they would have a smaller option as well 1.0L turbo.
Turbos seem to be the trend:
