I have no idea what the strategic logic is behind bringing back a well-loved car model with a big warning slapped on it that says “we are absolutely positively going to stop making this again 18 months from now”

Chevrolet killed it then brought it back, now we drive it: The 2027 Bolt

Faster charging, more modern infotainment, and a new LFP battery are highlights.

@jalefkowit Artificial scarcity? It works for other products. Maybe it will work for a car?
@MLE_online They do that all the time in the supercar world, and it works there. Not sure it will land the same among people interested in a budget EV though

@jalefkowit If you want a budget compact EV and there's not a lot of offerings out there, maybe you'll jump at the chance to buy a Bolt while it's available?

If Honda brought back the Fit for a limited time only, I know a lot of people who would be rushing out to get one
