NEVER buy the first year model of Anything! It's been dam good advice over the years.

But...

How can you go wrong with something built by Honda and Sony?

It's way outta My pay grade, but if it wasn't...


Who's getting one?? šŸ¤”
Nice to see more innovation in the electric vehicle segment.

My Dad always said-you make your own bed, you live in it. What ever you choices you make, it's yours to deal with. First new product out of the gate would be a pass. As of April 8th he will be gone 20 years. But I think that speech was about getting a girl pregnant.

Iā€™m intrigued. Just read the write up in Car and Driver. All comes down to range, how long to charge and auto pilot for the long hauls. If itā€™s made by Honda, would feel more comfortable with the ā€œfirst model yearā€ quality. But that namešŸ˜³

"Presale" makes me nervous. Shades of Speed.

Right?

Having worked for Lexus and Toyota, I know they spend five to seven years from paper to showroom.

And that included a full year driving a beta build coast to coast, here in the US.

With Honda's reputation for reliability, I'd guess they do something similar.

Just the other day my Dad told me,

ā€œSon, although youā€™re now older, you certainly havenā€™t lost your inmaturityā€

My dad always said ā€œYou donā€™t look at the mantle while youā€™re stoking the fireā€ . Itā€™s an adage that has served me well. šŸ˜Ž

ā€œYou talk like a man with a paper asshole.ā€

I never understood it in literal terms, but I knew he was telling me he disagreed with whatever Iā€™d just said and I should STFU. šŸ˜‚

And on the other apparent topic of this thread, Iā€™d run away from that car, as fast and as far as possible. Iā€™m betting itā€™ll be nightmarishly costly if anything goes wrong with the electronics, and I really donā€™t want my car to entertain me beyond the driving experience anyway. Plus, itā€™s an EV and I live in a State that has no infrastructure.
