It does not make sense that Honda does not sell this vehicle in USA...I used to have a Honda minivan and I loved it but it was way too big and used too much fuel...this vehicle will be perfect for so many small families that want the flexibility of a hatchback and refuse to buy a CRV because it uses too much fuel. Honda is pretty much pushing its loyal consumers to buy the New Nissan Rogue, Mazda 5 and Toyota Matrix.
That's where different tastes come into play! I find the car hideous, but hey! It's good that there are cars for everyone and I love to see other cars than just the german on the roads!
My third Civic and fifth Honda but will be my last as Honda care more about "World Dreams" than their buyers. They phased out the 2.2 D-Tec engine in favour of a weedy 1.6 unit that is totally gutless and needs revved just to get away from junctions (not what you want with the family on board nor what you expect from a diesel), the Turbo is mapped to boost in all the wrong areas (for emissions) which makes it treacherous in the snow. You have a choice it's 1.8 petrol or 1.6 diesel. Honda build a car for Touring and give it more load space to carry more weight and then reduce the power from 150bhp to 120bhp with significantly reduced torque, talk about an own goal. A good car ruined by Honda's obsession to save the planet and please economists.
