This is a car that offers the fastback rear, but that’s not even the item that has come to my attention. The Insignia is being offered as a sedan, as a wagon and as a hatchback.

In much the same way the numbers just reached by McLaren are impressive, but they must also keep going to catch those brands they’ve been chasing for several years.

The Chevrolet Volt has Pioneered a New Class
Over the last several years, the Chevrolet Volt has developed a personality and a reputation of being the car with an electric range that you can trust.

This could be enough range for you to avoid using the gasoline for several days at a time as long as you charge it nightly and only have a short commute each day.
