Awesome. We were just talking about maybe getting a Bolt EV to replace our aging Fit. We were also thinking about the Leaf but rumors are that it's on the chopping block as well. It's weird to me there isn't more demand for small hatchback EVs.

VW sees the GTI as the benchmark within the small hatch segment, so I’m hopeful about (eventual) EV GTI.

Hatchbacks FTW! I would totally buy an electric or even a hybrid Fit.

  What's crazy is that they sell waaaay more configurations of the Fit for the Japanese market [1], even a "Crosstar" trim level with 4wd + hybrid! [2]. A real shame they discontinued the Fit in the North American market, I would have easily bought one but ended up with an HR-V because it's basically a Fit on steroids (same chassis, still has magic seats until 2022), but it's a big percent price jump: $17k (2020 fit) -> $21k (2020 hrv).

    I’ve been pretty happy with my Fit. Nearly 200k of fault free miles. That said, sign me up hybrid, 4wd every time.

There’s demand and there’s profitability, one of these is much more important to a manufacturer. Given the current supply constraints, high volume low margin models don’t make a ton of business sense, unfortunately.
