Looks like an interesting first entry; curious to see what people think of it once it hits the market.

That’s a lot of money for a rebadged GM. There is so little Honda in this Honda and GM has been having some pretty serious issues with the other cars on this same platform.

IMO it was a huge misstep for Honda to farm out their first EV to GM.

If you're curious like I was, it's based on the GM Equinox platform.

Wow I had not heard that Honda of all companies outsourced to GM. That’s insane. Would absolutely not have guessed they’d use that as a strategy. Perhaps it’s a stopgap thing…?
