And the proof is, dealers never told customers the 1st gen Passport was an Isuzu Rodeo. Don't recall any advertisements pointing that out either...
2024 Honda Prologue EV Previewed
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
They found out when they had problems and Honda wouldnt take care of them. Happened to an employee of mine who's sworn off Honda since.
Wait, what? where is the gm partnership in this? admittedly, I recently rode in a bolt EV and found it to be very well executed indeed, but if I’m paying Honda money then I’m going to be very interested in getting honda engineering. I wouldn’t exclude it; GM has had some good advancements lately and has more time with BEVs at this point than Honda, but yeah, I’d like to know…
Found stuff. read stuff. Battery and motor tech seems to be what comprises the “ultium” platform, not the whole chassis. I’m ok with that. Having isuzu rodeo/passport flashbacks there for a second. not that the rodeo wasn’t a good vehicle - they were quite likeable, but they were not built with the same precision and solidness as the honda products of the time.
If ultium were actually proven it might mean something, but there is so much we dont know.
I'm very curious to see how it handles cabin HVAC during high speed charging in hot and cold weather, 10-80% curve, long term degradation...
Getting close to production

Looks great - hope it performs and cost what it's supposed to - the cheap Silverado's vanished upon delivery
We've been awaiting a long time to see this car and are still waiting.
Now there is even more pressure on the line with it underpinning a honda chassis.

The short looks fantastic all kitted out like that -and it looks like the typically great paint I get from GM nice and thick.
some stuff I dont like -
The black plastic wheel accents/fender will turn streaky cloudy white over time.
The rear wiper will give short life in the hotter states - the ones tucked above into the upper spoiler are the
standard high end now.
I dont like the trim pieces in hatch and rear windows especially black trim pieces in super hot climate Im in.
My lexus starting losing them at year 15 and I couldn't get them replaced.
Its ugly!
Make this dual motor, 140mph top speed, 375-425hp, SHAWD, and facelift the interior and exterior and put it into the role of Acura RDX-S with 275+mi epa range, and I'd be looking at it real interested like!
The problem with the Lyriq is that it's absurdly heavy. That 500hp motivates it to a 0-60 in over 4 and a half seconds. The RDX class needs to be sub 5,000#.
NVM. I just googled the Prologue. It is huge for a 2-row SUV. My EV6 GT has a ton of room in the 2nd row and it has a 114" wheel base. Prologue is 121". The Honda Pilot has a just under 114" wheel base. The Prologue literally has a wheelbase longer than an Escalade. How is it a 2 row? They need a more compact EV for the RDX slot. This can fill the ZDX spot and replace the MDX.
Your analogy of iPads’ is exactly how I feel. When I first looked at the photos, that hit me straight in the face. It’s like they completed designing the dash and then realized they forgot the displays and just glued them on.

Doesn't look too bad but not so sure about the Prologue name, when I say it out loud doesn't have a nice ring to it
It pairs well with the old Prelude name. I don’t mind it, but I would understand if most people didn’t like it.
All it does is make me wonder what we're getting at.
You may be on to something. Mustang to Mustang Mach-E, Prelude to Prologue...
I wish they still made the Prelude. Loved those cars!
The long wheelbase is somewhat explained by the pictures- the wheels are pushed as far out as they can, which is wonderful for handling.
agree, plastic-bezeled iPads on the dash would be a slap in the face on where these will likely be priced.
I really like the lines, the dimensions. I am suspicious that it still could be a little large.
us plebes would really appreciate an affordable version with reasonable ICE-like acceleration numbers and decent range. my house doesn’t need 3.2 second 0-60. We do need range.

How far is your daily commute that 200mi or so won't get it done?
