GM is on a roll... dropping base models, raising prices and removing CarPlay/Android Auto... Easy to guess which direction that roll is going.
Don't forget that they basically abandoned the rest of the world. They're just an American automaker now. Methinks their time is limited, EV or no EV..
That's not true, they sold 462,000 cars in China this quarter. In fact, there is another post here that showcases their new EV.
It's interesting to see Chevy going the opposite route and raising prices right now when there have been so many other companies starting to lower pricing. You'd think they'd get rid of the higher trim rather than the lower one, but they must have better margin on the higher trim.
Agreed, I almost held my breath for the Blazer / Equinox. Glad I plunged early for the ID4, the savings have been great.
We're driving an old Leaf (2013) and a 2018 Volt. We kind of want to swap the Volt for a full EV (to get better EV range, ditch the gas engine, and get a little more space), but manufacturers seem to resent selling sub-$50k EVs except for the Bolt EUV... which isn't really an upgrade over the Volt for our needs. I'll keep waiting I guess.
How are you liking the ID.4? I have a colleague who bought one (it wasn't really the right vehicle for his use case) and who didn't love it. It seems like a good vehicle, but (like most EVs) is hard to find cheap.
They might feel that they don't need that trim if the Bolt is coming back.
Makes me feel good I'm in line for an Ocean. This is some BS.
Those cost more than half my house. It would take me 20 years to buy one!
We're waiting for Volvo EX30's here, though I might go a different direction as I don't think it has the cargo capacity I need, I'd love a Canoo van if'n they ever come out, or maybe a used Bolt.
