My Bolt EV drives OK for a small car. It bobs a bit in the rear over some surfaces but the acceleration and general handling are good.

Speaking of the Prologue and GM’s own Ultium-based crossovers, Aoyama admitted that the behind-the-wheel experience would probably be similar.
“We are limited due to the base architecture,” he said. “To differentiate [them] in terms of performance will be difficult.”
Mibe agreed, pointing out that the performance of the Honda Prologue would probably mirror some GM crossovers – likely the Blazer EV – thanks to the shared platform and similar battery specifications. However, both Aoyama and Mibe were confident that the Prologue will still feel like a Honda in many of the ways that consumers will care about the most.
“The design – the top hat – is where we will make our differentiation,” Mibe said.
