Indeed, the Chevy Bolt is
Indeed, the Chevy Bolt is mostly out of the Sonic parts bin. Outside, Bolt and Sonic looks are very close and inside the Bolts get a little bigger center stack screen and simpler HVAC controls. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe. Probably a lot of prospective Bolt purchasers don’t care a lot about what the car looks like as long as it performs required tasks. Probably half a dozen CUV style cars from as many makers are almost indistinguishable from more than 15 feet, yet people buy them anyway. People who want style would probably buy a Tesla model 3. For other purchasers, it may boil down to availability - which one is easier to drive off a dealer lot may be the deciding factor.
