As you can see in the photo gallery below, the third picture is a screen shot from the Patent and Trademark Office's website, showing the original Crossvolt trademark. Its registrant gave up on it in 2004, after which General Motors applied for it.
For unknown reasons, GM abandoned the Crossvolt nameplate on November 3rd this year, but reapplied with the USPTO again, with the mysterious trademark published for opposition recently, on December 23rd.
Categorized as "G & S: Automobiles," it's definitely a bit too soon to hint at an MPV or a crossover vehicle underpinned by the same powertrain as the upcoming 2016 Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid green mobile.
More than one US automotive publication suggested that General Motors might even present this Chevrolet Crossvolt in January at the Detroit Auto Show next to the second-gen Chevrolet Volt, but we'll take such suggestions with a sizable grain of salt for obvious reasons and because we respect our readers.
The closest counterpart to the possible crossover/MPV outcome for this Chevrolet Crossvolt mystery machine comes in the form of the Volt MP5 concept, which was showcased at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010 and was made up of Volt underpinnings riding on a modified Chevrolet Orlando body shell.
Nevertheless, with no proper information on General Motors' plans with the Crossvolt, we don't mean to beat around the bush and make wishful thinking a sport like other publications like to do. The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is the GM car to look really forward to, especially its heavily revised and eco powertrain.
