Cars that are built to look like it has a face have never appealed to me because I'm utilitarian, and prefer a car to function well over look cute.

That said, I'd happily purchase a used Bolt at around $13k, whenever they get that cheap. 200 miles can get me everywhere except for road trips.

Maybe having other EV options on the table will push the used prices on the Leaf down to a level I would consider.

Any predictions on when the car would be available at dealerships, assuming Chevy goes forward with production?

EDIT: Looks like it would come out in 2017 as a 2018 model.

One thing I look forward to is mentioned:

Quote:
The Bolt Connect app would provide drivers with an unprecedented level of vehicle control. Incorporating automatic park-and-retrieval technology†, owners will be able to exit the vehicle and tell Bolt EV to park itself while they run errands, then summon it to their location when they’re done.
