    I personally drive an ICE Honda currently and looking in the near future to move to a BEV. But this is a GM vehicle with all of the issues that go with that. You cant currently beat the Model Y RWD for pricing, quality and features. This vehicle is a no for me. Thanks for reviewing and providing insight.

      Don't listen to @Cjdergrosse. I own a '23 MYP and it's anything but cheap. It's a quality machine and built really well. I've been underneath this thing and removed the underbody panels, and I've removed some of the interior panels when wiring an aftermarket amp. This thing is put together very well. Much better than a lot of other vehicles I've worked on.

Their latest Model 3 Highland shames most legacy vehicles at that price point.

      If I have to side in the car for 10 minutes or so, I turn off the lights and let the EV run normally. Or I turn it totally off and wait in between the times.

    * If I need to be able to use something without having to unload the cargo in the back of the car to get to the underfloor storage. (IE: Charging cable, tire inflator, etc.)
    * For holding food without having to worry about it smelling up the cabin interior. Also, if it spills it's easier to clean up.
    * For storing valuables that you don't want other's to see. It's easy to smash a window and grab a laptop bag from the backseat, but thieves won't bother trying to rip open the front trunk.

      Honda techs are familiar with series hybrids, which are essentially EVs with more complexity.
      Although, if it’s anything like when Honda sold the old Passport (an Isuzu Rodeo), they’ll just have a porter or tow truck take the car across town to a Chevy dealer to let the local Ultima techs deal with it.
      I worked as a porter at a Honda dealer in the late 90s and would drop off Passports at the Isuzu dealer several times a week. They were huge POSs that enjoyed frequent major failures and long-time Honda owners were complaining about cheap truck ‘features’ (leaks, creaks, rattles, terrible handling, etc).

      odds are this will be a short run vehicle. 5 years tops. It will be replaced with something honda built from scratch. This was only a joint venture to get the tech with GM. There is a reason the venture has been cut off before the car has been released. GMs EV track record is not good. Could you imagine if the prologue came out before blazer and it was the one that ended up with a stop sale. It would be bad for their first ev to be a horrible PR run. Its already concerning how much this things launch is being pushed back and that they wont let them charge them on the test drives.

    As someone who is a big Honda fan, and who owns one, this is my opinion on the prologue. As someone who owned multiple Hondas before I feel like that this Prologue is a nice car but does not give the Honda vibe. Whether it’s the keys the steering wheel or other stuff they are way different then what you would see on a Honda because those are GM designed. I’m also curious of how the reliability will be.

    You missed (glossed over, actually) one very important feature the Prologue has that the Blazer does not have: Car Play. I drive a Bolt, my son drives an i4, and my daughter-in-law drives. Polestar 2. Neither of us, nor anyone else in our family would even consider a Blazer, Lyriq, Equinox, or any other GM Hybrid because GM does not offer Car Play on their EV’s; whereas the Prologue features Car Play. I can’t speak for Android phone users, but not one single iPhone user I know would ever give up Car Play.

    The combination of frunk and dog mode is extremely useful on the Model Y. Say you have your dog with you and you have to make a couple stops on the way back from the grocery store. You can put the groceries in the frunk without risking the dog getting to them, or driving him insane cos he wants them so badly.
