I didn't understand why they made the offer either (I honestly expected to pay them - my poker face strained when they told me!) - but I have always been a big Honda/Acura fan (MDX, Pilot, S2000, Odyssey, Pioneer 1000). Honda is IMO a great car company and I guess that really speaks to their ethics. When every other auto manufacturer (or rather dealer) seem to be gauging customers, its pretty incredible they made me any sort of offer on a lease return!
I've long been a fan of Honda/Acura, but I've been frustrated with how they've handled leases during the pandemic. They went out of their way to block people from selling their vehicles to Carvana/CarMax and that rubs me the wrong way.
