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.
