It looks better than a Tesla, none of which have changed much externally since their introduction.

I had a Prius rental a few months ago: 60 mpg driving from Connecticut to Pennsylvania. It’s a nice car. That said, I just leased a 2025 Honda Prologue Touring. Since the EV tax credits are expiring at the end of September (Thanks, Trump! 😡 there are some really good deals out there. I was able to lease my Prologue for 3 years at $325/ month with $2150 up front. If I had a car newer than a 2010 Honda would have given another $3500 towards the lease deal and my payment would have been about $220/month. Honda also give you a free home charger and $500 towards installation. Incentives from my utility company should cover the rest.

I love it and think it looks cool. The new ones are just ugly Tesla wannabes. Yuck.

Can I even say that here?? Love that they’re better priced, and no problems with company right?? Or am I wrong.

I like the looks of the new ones, but they’ve really lost a lot of roominess and cargo space
