RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS

Last week GM reached a major Platform Sharing deal with Honda.


Some history is in order. Chevy LUV was built by ISUZU... 5th gen Nova 85-88 (Corolla) Geo Prism and Pontiac Vibe all built by Toyota at NUMMI.

So if Mary Barra is good for her word- which is to have GM switch to all EV underpinnings by 2024 - then one way to get there is to continue to sell ICE vehicles through platform sharing agreements.

The agreement signed last week gives Honda access to GM Ultium battery technology but in the end HONDA may get stuck making the ICE platforms that GM no longer wants to make.

ENJOY
