Honda leaned on General Motors to help get its EV program off the ground here in the U.S., and it appears that the partnership is paying off in other ways.

QOTD: What's the Worst Utility Vehicle of the Past 10 Years?
Utility vehicles have been a hot ticket personal transport item for some time, much to the delight of OEMs and their shareholders.
