Honda/Acura News & Business Thread
15 billion EV write off. Stock is down in the mid 20s. Sales are lackluster everywhere but in the USA.. Acura has 3 vehicles and 2 are civic based. They even have canned their gas lawn mowers lol. They likely need to merge to survive.

If Honda sticks to what it has traditionally done best (the ICE or hybrid CR-V, HR-V, Accord, Civic, and Odyssey), IMO. they will do just fine. All five of those vehicles sell very well in the U.S. and in some countries overseas. It is this EV-nonsense that has gotten then company in trouble.

Unlike Toyota, though, which IMO cost-cuts too much with bargain-basement interiors and trim, Honda seems to put some effort into providing a little more pleasant environment for driver and passengers. I give Toyota a lot of credit for reliable drivetrains (and the 4Runner and Land Cruiser for overall reliability) but, other than that, I just don't think they are very impressive.

ICE Hondas are still selling, though particularly in the U.S., in spite of the fact that they aren't built as rock-solid as in the 1990s. I see CR-Vs and HR-Vs everywhere I look.

We have been saying this for years about Honda - No RWD platforms, No BOF SUVs or real Truck platforms. They are in no-mans land with their lineup.
The Prelude is a complete disaster lol
None of this is surprising.
