It is not only a packaging problem, there is a fundamental physics problem that cannot be avoided. When power is produced by the front wheels they create a force between them and the ground. This is the force that causes the car to accelerate forward. But this force also puts pressure on the stickiness on the forward wheels and makes them want to slide. If you apply a lot of torque you start getting microslides, or momentary losses of traction which reduce the front wheels ability to steer the car and cause torque steer and understeer. A lot of the problems of oversteer you see in youtube videos and the like are really just very extreme cases. I doubt the Bolt, even with its electric motor, will have as much torque as a the souped up mustangs and corvettes that you usually see at those conventions. In general, for the same amount of torque, oversteer is much better than understeer, because it does not cause nearly as much loss of steering (and the little loss it causes usually goes in the right direction, i.e., helping you turn). Oversteer is the result of the rear wheels sliding, and the rear wheels are not as crucial for steering as the front wheels. Thus microslides in the rear wheels will not cause such a loss of steering authority. I remember i test drove a 200 hp front wheel drive audi, and it had noticeable understeer and torque steer problems. Then i test drove a 300 hp rear wheel drive infiniti, and it had no oversteer problems even though it had much more horsepower and torque. Of course you can always cause dangerous situations with oversteer, but you need much more power and torque to do it.
