Well.....

The 2022 Bolt EV and EUV announcements were typical GM. Just enough to keep you interested, but also enough to make you disappointed. I'm ignoring the EV because it's too small (and ugly) for my needs. As far as the EUV:

The Good.
  • Super Cruise. I like the way SuperCruise works and would definitely buy it.
  • Design. The EUV design is OK, and is definitely a Chevy. I also happen to think the red/black one works well.
  • L2 Charging. The price includes installation of a L2 Charger at home
  • Interior Design. It still looks like a car.
  • Apparently it can jump into hyperspace and keep up with a x-wing. I'm going to insist on that if I buy one....

The not so good.
  • Range. 250 miles. Really wanted it to be 300 or even 350.
  • Design. OK. I like it for what it is, but its not very exciting. Oh, and the EV is UGly.
  • Price. It is probably priced right but I was hoping it would be less.
  • No AWD, although not a deal killer for me.
  • No mention of performance specs which means, nothing exciting there as I'm guessing it really doesn't keep up with an x-wing...

In the end, I could live with the EUV as a commuter/3rd car, but not at the new price. I guess I'll keep looking for someone besides Tesla to release a sports car, coupe e-car.

I wonder if they'll sell me the x-wing?
