Similar experience from a European.

I own a 2015 Vauxhall Adam. It's a brilliant little petrol car, 3 doors, very small and very reliable.

GM canned the model in 2019. It makes no sense to me, if they had stuck a battery in it for an electric version I'd have been sold in a heartbeat.

But no, GM wants to focus on big cars that I don't want. I don't want anything bigger than a 3 door hatchback, I'm only 20 and have no kids, why do I need some massive fuckoff SUV????
