We could always just wrap the car in a metallic orange vinyl. 3M has some fantastic colors.

I'm still going to get the orange though. The red is fantastic, but is just too trendy right now and the kinetic blue is also real good, but I guess I'm just not a blue kinda guy, so orange it is even if it isn't the one I really want.
Hold on a minute.... you mean YOU got a Bolt in Cajun Red Tintcoat as well!? Does that mean if we ever meet each other on the 401, we might cosmically implode for being in the same place at the same time? I'm petitioning Chevy for an app that will show me your location at all times to prevent such a disaster. And lord help the first person that says "Nice Sonic" to me.....Think again.
At the local auto show I was looking at the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox in red. I asked the attendant “what’s that color called?” Answer: “Cajun Red Tintcoat”. Me: “WHAT !!”
I then googled Chevrolet Cajun Red Tintcoat. Oh, no... (see picture)
I’m going to go after Canada Chevrolet for: 1.) a discount and, 2.) official renaming of the Cdn Bolt’s red paint color to: Cehjun Red Tintcoat. I’ll also be petitioning the courts to allow: immediate release on bond & maximum penalty of suspended sentence in cases of attempted murder where: the accused is the owner of a Bolt in Cehjun Red and was approached by anyone who states in a normal octave or above: “nice Sonic”..

I don't know if you can still do it but I thought at one time you could custom order what ever colour you wanted? All the cars now are a factory order right now so can't a special order request be made for the Opel colour? The car is made in the same plant.We could always just wrap the car in a metallic orange vinyl. 3M has some fantastic colors.

I bet they forgot to hit the Sport button! Yeah the 500km range is based on the European test cycle which is very optimistic. There is another video where they quote a 520km range but then they say for a more realistic range the world standard test gives it a 380km range which is pretty bang on to the range we are told. Real life in the summer will probably be somewhere in between the two.I looked at Opel’s Ampera video and thought: 7.3 secs to 100 km/hr, boy they messed that up. Then I remembered 100 km/hr= 62.1371 mi/hr. So then Ampera’s 0-60 time is 7.05 seconds. Okay, conservative. But the reference to up to 500 km range is rather wild.
After my wife looked at the video, she said “ so you’re getting a Bolt because you think it’s a chick-magnet ?? Yeah right..you and a Bolt. Dream on”
