Humanity has often been wrong in its various attempts at predicting the future, but we sure had fun with each and every one of them. Today’s proposal for the car of tomorrow is both incredibly cute and competent, in addition to being affordable and sustainable.

The GMC Hummer EV came out to great acclaim this year. Acclaim that was less forthcoming for the Blazer, which wasn’t exactly the Bronco competitor the original one was. Enter the Boulder.
The creation of one Ryan Schlotthauer, a Transportation Design student in Detroit, the Boulder is an electric off-roader designed to take on the likes of the Bronco and the two-door Wrangler.
“In my designs I always aim to find the right blend of aesthetics with functionality and to challenge how people can use vehicles,” Schlotthauer told us via email. “Using an electric platform allowed me to use a unique graphic breakup of the vehicle.”
Fortune favors the bold.
The new Ford Bronco has one clear target: the Jeep Wrangler. This is the off-road SUV battle between two Detroit rivals we ve been waiting for years to see. But where s General Motors? It seems like a lifetime ago when both the Chevy Blazer and Trailblazer were body-on-frame SUVs but now they re car-based crossovers. So it goes. GMC, meanwhile, is too busy trying to attract customers who feel the Chevy brand is beneath them but aren t interested in a Cadillac Escalade or XT5 because they want off-road styling rather than bling.
However, GMC is clearly missing out on a huge opportunity and we re still waiting for the day when it announces the rebirth of the Jimmy. The new GMC Hummer EV is in a completely different segment, both in terms of powertrain and pricing. What GMC needs is a more affordable, combustion-powered Bronco and Wrangler rival.
