I may have said the before on here, but I sat down last year with my 6 year old son to try and kick off the nostalgia train and get him into He-Man and started watching the old series. We both barely made it through the first episode. He politely asked if we could watch something else when it finished and I happily…

Now do Transformers G1!

This article was pretty bad top to bottom. Comparing it to the Y and Mach-E was bad, pretending it wasn’t significantly cheaper, ignoring the actual changes and playing up perceived ideas about the car that don’t follow. 

What is this? A slightly increased height for ants?!?!

I think hard opinions on things get clicks more than even-keeled stuff. So a regular article on this explaining both the good and the bad in a level-headed way would be too boring (or something).

It is critical to remember that the Bolt EUV is more or less competing directly with cars like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E,

This doesn’t. It’s just a Bolt with extra rear legroom and cladding. It’s the same height (+0.2”) and the cockpit is the same. 

I’m guessing the extra weight from making it longer is the culprit.

Ah yes, the fabled Buick strategy.

Yeah. He found a narrative to go after and ignored some pretty basic things. Chevy also discounts these like crazy and it’s no where close to the Y or Mach-E.

I’d hardly call 3" more rear legroom “slight” in a small car. The “lift” however, is 0.2" more, which is miniscule, and likely only due to the roof rails that the regular Bolt lacks.

Packaging and marketing aside, with 2.9" longer wheelbase, this appears to be a lengthened Bolt, not a lifted one.

This is the same judge that presided over the restraining order hearing where the abuser was hiding in the same house as his victim and lied about it.

I’ve been in the rear of the current Bolt. If the Bolt EUV has more leg room, even if it’s a few inches, it’s worth the price increase.

Even better, no one pays 34k for it. 

Making it 6” longer to have a bigger backseat, thus adding weight, probably has more to do with the mileage loss than the 0.2” of height.

Nobody knows about it

Gonna be hilarious if this show ends up boring as shit

At least the BBC can breathe a small sigh of relief that neither Barrowman nor Clarke were molesting children like so many former BBC employees.

Okay, so let me see if I understand.
