Yeah, even though they are claiming that this is just a China/Asia market BEV, it is quite possible that the underpinnings (BEV3) could be the same as the rumored and long awaited Bolt EUV. I think that there are two reasons why we are seeing the Menlo debut in China (besides the huge market there) with no word of a new Chevy/Buick BEV for the U.S. One big reason is that GM killed of the Volt and Cruze and closed 3 plants in the U.S. and one in Canada, so shipping new EVs from China reeks of losing more domestic production overseas. Secondly, GM promised that Cadillac would be their "Vanguard" EV marque moving forward (even though they no longer have any EVs available now after dropping two Cadillac PHEV models), and Cadillac announced that they would release a long range, luxury BEV in 2022. For me, if GM doesn't release new BEV models by next year at the latest, they will already be their competition.
