GM has lost the plot. $60k for a small SUV, nobody is going to purchase that. Can we please let the auto companies go out of business this time?
Instead automakers keep on reusing platforms that are hardly different from their previous generation and tack on software-based 'innovations' like they're a tech company. Usually for the worse like in this instance, replacing the (hardly) tried and true interfaces of CarPlay and Android Auto with their own software. Before this it was switching out climate control knobs for on-screen which don't work with gloves, throttle profiles which will never be used, etc...
It just needs more range, a super-charger fast recharge option and a better price point. Currently just doesn't make sense for what it does.
If you’re looking for a truck that will get 500 miles of range while towing a motorhome at 80 mph, it’s just not going to happen.
But I got that vehicle for about $40k and it basically pays for itself in gas savings.
On the flip side, a used Lightning that has 10k miles on it and a 200 mile range without a fast recharge option was available for $80k at a local dealer. I test drove it. It was great.
The range and charge limitations make it only viable as a second vehicle.
