Ah yes, the Honda badged Chevy Blazer EV.

Big fan of Honda, always had one until I switched to a Tesla in 2018 because I wanted an EV, and a Polestar now. But the rebadged Honda vehicles are always sub-par. The original generations of Passport were essentially just an Isuzu Rodeo, and it showed.

I hope this round is better, but I get the feeling that won't be the case.

Cause they weren't Hondas.

Makes me wonder why they do it? Why put your badge on something that is objectivity worse than what you can do?

I assume it's to test the market for viability or something, but it just devalues the brand and makes me less willing to consider it even if a "real" one is released.

My understanding is they had next to zero R&D in BEV and are using this to bridge the gap until they come up with something of their own.

They could be smart and set up a different brand.
