Shopping During the Chip Shortage, Honda Sony Partnership

With co-host Jill Ciminillo out on assignment this week, host Tom Appel and co-host Damon Bell start the show by discussing Honda’s recently announced joint venture with Sony to produce pure-electric vehicles and other mobility services. We also talk about the redesigned-for-2023 Honda HR-V, CR-V, and Pilot SUVs. Sam Fiorani, Vice President of Global Vehicle Forecasting for AutoForecast Solutions, joins us to give his insight on how car shoppers can navigate the current new-vehicle inventory crisis. Tom has a quiz on 1977-model-year cars for Damon, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog–including a test-drive review of the redesigned-for-2022 Subaru WRX.
