Counting Crossovers -- tracking what's coming and when.

Should include the Bolt EV, as GM markets it as CUV. unless AWD option is a required for your CUV classification.

The Bolt doesn't "command seating," really. Plus it's not all-wheel-drive and super short. GM says they will build a crossover on the Bolt platform, so to my mind that's them admitting that the Bolt isn't a CUV.
 
It has an upright seating position and ride height close to that of other CUVs. And while the exterior is short, the inside volume and room is close to many small CUVs.

Well, ETA on Outlander PHEV is ~10 weeks...

Going off of when you posted this (Oct 26), this places the ETA of the Outlander PHEV at the first week of January. I thought Mitsu said that it's supposed to arrive in December? Don't tell me that what they "really meant" was the last week of December?!

This is disappointing because with the death of the EV Tax Credit and the additional tax burdens I'll be subjected to (thanks GOP!), even the "affordable" Outlander PHEV will be just beyond our reach! I may have to get a gas mobile because we're pressing against the limitations of being a single car family on top of pressing on the limitations of our Volts cargo capacity for trips!
 
@Scramjett: the EV credit is not dead yet. Senate version of the bill still has it. Call and write your reps and let them know you want to make sure the EV tax rebate remains.
 
@Cypress: are you sure? Last I heard was that the Senate version of the bill was being voted on as of Friday night/Saturday morning and no one, outside of the GOP caucus and the lobbyists, has a clue what was in it.

Incidentally, calling my Senators would be a waste of time. Harris will likely vote no because she's a somewhat reasonable politician (even if she did shut down the prosecution of Steve "Foreclosure King" Mnuchin) and Feinstein goes out of her way to dodge her voters at every possible turn.
 
I should clarify that no one has any idea what's in it beyond what was already promised: which is the death of the EV Tax Credit and the Solar Tax Credit. The only thing I know of for sure is that the property tax deduction appears to remain intact (for now).

There was report from electrek that the senate version preserved the ev tax rebate. But will see if it survives reconciliation.
 
Well this is off-topic, but I thought I had subscribed to Rivian's e-mail newsletter months ago. Just now, doing a search of my e-mail archive, I found a "confirm your subscription" message that I had not responded to. :( Better late than never, I guess. *sigh*

If Rivian does send me a newsletter, I'll start a Rivian discussion thread and post the text there.
 
That Subaru and XC40 are maybe promising. The rest don't do it for me. Would love an actual wagon vs these CUV. Probably will be last to the party.

Wagons don't really sell well in the US, but if there was at least one EV longroof, it could find some homes.
