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.

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…?

It is a stopgap, they’ve admitted as much. They wanted an EV now and are working on a platform but this was the compromise to getting something to market as quick as possible. Though I think they’d have been better off waiting than trusting GM to make something good for them.

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

They're mostly hatchbacks with extra ground clearance for people to pretend they don't own a hatchback.

Hatchbacks with bigger blind spots, a higher
battering ramhood, more weight, worse fuel economy... I think most rare closer to "brawny" minivans without the practicality.Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
This thing is so uninspired compared to the Honda E. It feels like a box that Honda hired someone to check for them so they could stay on target with EPA goals.
The industrial design, the charge time, the performance. It’s all fine for a flagship EV from 2018.

Somebody obviously pitched them the box using the conjoined triangles of success strategy.

And what's said is they will probably sell loads of these things because it's way less uninspired than the Toyota bz4x.
