My advise has been to steer away from heavily advertised autos, as I imagine they push the vehicles with the highest profit margin. Even in ‘group’ ads I don’t think I ever saw a Bolt or Volt. That’s because they aren’t profit centers. More of the price you pay actually went into the vehicle instead of the dealers’ or manufactures’ pockets.
