I drove a Mini Cooper S EV at an autocross this weekend and I really liked it. It was well-balanced and fun and felt light and nimble, and it wasn't massive. The downside is that ~110 mile range though.
GM sure seems to have a long history of killing off cars after they finally get the bugs worked out and actually produce a good product. Fiero, Solstice, Camero-soon to be twice... not to mention all of their duds.

Do we know yet if the US market will see the next gen MINI electric? It's supposed to be much better in terms of range, but my guess is the "built in China" plants will kill the profitability here.
I could live with 110 miles but yeah, that's a tough pill for most to swallow, especially when the Bolt is (much) less expensive
In reply to VolvoHeretic :
Yes indeed
In reply to Erich :
Yeah, they actually had to trailer it to and from the event, because the hour drive to the event and then the hour drive home would have chewed up almost all of the range (51 miles one way), and left them unable to race it. Great car for city commutes and short jaunts, but not really feasible if you do any serious driving.
