UPSET vs FINE are too strong. "Disappointed" is better.

My parents largely owned GM cars (e.g., full-size Buicks, then Cadillacs, with an occasional Olds or Pontiac). I've owned a number as well, and still own four: two Buicks, and two Chevys. Three of the four have nameplates that were discontinued - Reatta, Rendezvous, and now Volt. (Suburban is still being made.) I can still get all of them serviced. Drive train parts are generally not hard to find - even for the Reatta. (Crash parts for the Reatta are another story. But it is garaged out of harms way - except for the occasional car show or sunny day.) So I have confidence that our Volt will be serviceable for a long time.

I do want to combine our Rendezvous and Suburban into a single vehicle, and would prefer it be a PHEV. Something like the Outlander PHEV, but a little bigger and with about 2x the traction battery. It would be great if GM would put the Voltec, or a heavier duty version of it, in an Equinox-sized vehicle. Or even better yet, a Traverse-sized vehicle. GM has about a year before I start looking in earnest. By then the Model Y might be near production...
