Detroit, Michigan - Chevrolet's latest promo video for the second-generation Volt extended-range battery car doesn't give a lot of detail, but concentrates instead on GM's efforts to make the Volt more like an 'ordinary' car.

"We want to take the car a little more mainstream," Volt chief engineer Andrew Farah says in the clip, "but still keep all those things that our first Volt customers really liked and told us they liked. We tried to make those things better and the things they said they didn't like, we actually tried to fix those and get those off the list."

He has, however, promised that the amped-up 2016 Volt will have better acceleration, tighter steering and a longer range on battery only.
