Comments
It’s already got auto fans and media in stitches. Why isn’t GM delaying this thing for 5 years or so, like most of the competition? Will just sit on lots. Bye, bye Mary.
Or, have people that actually want affordable, realistically sized EV’s (and haven’t been happy with GM killing all the announced features in the Equinox EV) been putting off purchases, waiting for this to hit dealer lots (and their driveways)? This is also hitting the global market so your short-sighted comment has little merit.
Is this the only EV now with fixed glass roof? I wish they offered it as an option on all with a slide shade.
NOBODY is forcing you to buy a GM vehicle. Buy something else.
Buy a Ford. Never buy an import!
“Compact crossover”?
It’s 190in long and 84in wide. That is not a compact.
Needs CarPlay and 1in to 2in more ground clearance and it would be perfect.
