Honda's said it has nothing to do with Brexit and they don't have any reason to lie about that.
Most companies will try to steer clear of politics if they can. They have nothing to win by stating it had to do with Brexit, on the contrary it increases the likelihood some people might perceive their brand negatively. Saying 'it had nothing to do with Brexit it's just global market stuff' on the other hand is basically the safe way out.
