![]() Today's car of the day is Greenlight's 2016 Chevrolet Volt. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Chevrolet Volt ![]() ![]() The second generation Volt is uninspiring for me, looking very much like a Prius copycat design. I strongly believe the first generation had more unique styling, was better looking, and I wish a collector quality small scale model would have been released of the first generation. My lack of enthusiasm for the real car, however, does not stop me from being excited to have a diecast version of this second generation Volt. This blue one from Greenlight was the promotional version given out by Chevrolet. ![]()

I am curious, since this was a promotion given out by Chevrolet - was it given out at dealerships or in some other manner? It is neat that manufacturers still have promotional models. The Volt, to me, is a rather bland car - but nice that GL made it and other "everyday on the road" type of cars. |

My understanding is that it was a promotional item from the Chicago auto show. It came in a small black window box with the Volt name on it, but no mention of Greenlight. This casting has recently been introduced in the Motor World line, in silver. |

I'll probably get one of these, unlike Greenlight's Chevy Cruze, which I had absolutely zero interest in. |

The initial quantity was for the NAIAS Detroit show in January. Then an additional quantity was given to the marketing and auto show team which they have been using throughout the year for giveaway items and marketing at events. It was pretty neat to see the cars at the show as they unveiled it for the first time (technically second as they had shown a few photos a day or two prior but not the entire car). Thanks, Matt |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Bland enough for me to add to my "street background" car collection photography and sprinkle into dioramas. |

Great pix as always- I thought the silver one was the first release... learn something new every day. i'll be getting a bunch of these for my layouts- another great regular ride. I'm hoping they fit in the SpecCast auto haulers... (which are a little tight for most) |

I think Maisto put out a VOLT casting and Hasbro in the Transformer line put out "Jolt" who was a Volt wannabee. But I will be looking for Motorworld's VOLT casting, and Greenlights also if they do a regular release in Canadian Wally's |
