So seriously? A masterpiece?

Yes! GM had to make the Bolt an all-hands-on-deck undertaking, and it shows: not just in the time it took to get the all-electric, long-range Chevy to market, but in the sheer amount of great stuff you get in this car for about $30,000. And if you spend a bit more for the Premier trim, you get lots more (and still end up shelling out for a price in the mid-$30,000 range, once the credits are applied).

It's hard to believe that less than a decade ago, GM was flat on its back. Now it's 2017 and the automaker's recovery is complete.

And not just complete, but charting a path toward a very different future.
