On: Hyundai promises to keep buttons in cars

[MobileVet]

I bought a Chevy Bolt vs a Model 3 for this and CarPlay. It is so well designed and every time I need something it is right where I expect it.

Could I learn the touch interface? Of course, but driving is often done subconsciously and touch is not amenable to that type of automatic interaction.

I wanted a car, not a toy.

(I am aware of the irony regarding the unfortunate proportions of the Bolt making it look like a toy car… lol)

The Chevy Bolt also costs over $10k less than the Model 3.

[MobileVet → DangitBobby]

Yep.

I had my eyes set on the Genesis GV60, but that car’s entry model (if you can find it) is $60k.

The Bolt was $33k - 7.5k in tax rebates. It is an enormous value.

It isn’t the Genesis for sure… but it’s 80% of that car for 40% the money.

The GV60 is the same platform as the Ioniq 5 and EV6. Ioniq is hard to find, but EV6's are relatively available.

Is it? We walked into our local Hyundai and they had several models they were selling at MSRP.

A quick check shows you're right - they are pretty common now. When I bought my EV6 in September, it was a much different story.

[DangitBobby → MobileVet]

I bought mine about 30 days too soon to qualify for the tax rebate. Pretty salty about that.
