Replying to: drive62 (Jun 14, 2006 10:46 am) The 4-8% of the car buying public in the US who drive a manual transmission are going to be soooo disappointed. Long live the "drones" . Indeed the drones win. So far Honda has not developed an automatic capable to withstanding the 250 ft. lbs of torque reliably, so the 2008 CR-V Diesel shoudl come with the 6 spd manual, like the one readily available in EU.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jun 16, 2006 5:22 am) Maybe you should move to Europe or Asia where the manual transmission is common. In the US it is not and to call the people who buy an auto transmission "drones" is insulting. You seem to have your definition of what a real driver is, too bad it doesn't match reality.

1st impression of Honda's new Stream (see also Honda Latitude thread in Future Vehicles section) http://www.carview.co.jp/road_impression/2006/honda_stream/default.asp Think I prefer the new CR-V, although I would ultimately prefer the new CR-V with the Stream's 2+3+2 seating layout. BTW, Honda's official release date for the new Stream is the 4th of July....can you get any more American than that?! Makes me wonder if we will, in fact, see the Stream / Latitude at some point. |

Replying to: varmint (Jun 16, 2006 9:58 am) Honda became what it is because it did not always do what the MBAs thought was right, but what engineers and people who have passion for driving thought was right. If Honda lets MBAs and accountants dictate what to do it will become another GM. And we all know how exciting GM cars are. |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jun 19, 2006 5:18 am) In 20 years time, all cars will probably have bland CVT's, and the general understanding of the workings of power trains will be as obscure to us lazy Americans as food preparation is now.

Exactly my point, Europeans and asians have cell phones and cappucinnos as well. The real culprit is much closer to the surface. People just DON'T WANT TO EXPAND ENERGY here in the US. Anyone can interpret it whatever way they see fit. |
