#15897 of 16152 No Manual by jimbres Jun 22, 2006 (12:24 pm)
In a way, I'm glad that the '07 CR-V won't be available with a stick. Otherwise, as the owner of an '06 EX 5MT, I might regret that I didn't postpone my purchase. But now I can rest easy, knowing that I own 1 of the last stick CR-Vs sold in North America. Having spent most of my life rowing my own, I'm just too old & set in my ways to learn how to drive an automatic.

Man you people are tenacious about your manual trannies.   The bottom line is you live in the US. The US is a automatic market. As you have said and seen, fewer and fewer manuals are available. Sorry it upsets you.   Maybe my examples weren't the best but I think you get the idea---you just don't want to accept that a manual transmission and someone who can drive one is a dying breed in this country.   I didn't want to debate the merits of AT vs. MT but you guys did it and you know what? Based on what I've read (thanks robr2) the AT comes out pretty well.

The most noticable difference is the front bumper. The vehicles I saw today had no fog lights and as I mentioned the bumper had these evenly spaced bulges throughout. The tape on the top portion of the hood in the picture changes the whole look of the undisguised vehicle, especially with the metal portion of the hood coming over the edge and surrounding the very prominent logo. Finally, the roofline as it flows to the back melds with a beautiful curved line in the rear glass panel. Bottom line is that the picture captures the vehicle, but, and I use these words specifically because it's unique for Honda, they don't capture it's grace or it's beauty. It's really stunning.

Having spent most of my life rowing my own, I'm just too old & set in my ways to learn how to drive an automatic.   I would bet with 95% confidence that the 2008 Diesel CR-V will be available with Manual only. The diesel CR-V will replace the current EX manual as the only stick shifted CR-V.   This is when I plan on getting mine. That way I can laugh at all the #$%^& who don't want to or don't know how to drive stick as I am driving around in an SUV that gets 35-40 mpg and runs on filtered used frying oil, while producing 250 ft. lbs of torque.

#15903 of 16152 Media Preview? by wheelz4 Jun 23, 2006 (6:23 am)
I posted awhile back (#15582) wheelz4, "Honda CR-V" #15582, 30 Mar 2006 6:48 am that I had heard there was to be a media preview for the new CR-V in Vancouver in July. Wonder if they bumped it up a bit and that's what miamicrv1 came across? I would say that anyone in the Vancouver/Whistler area should arm themselves with a digital camera and be on the lookout! Nice post, miamicrv1!

It's interesting you say that. I spoke to one of the drivers and asked him if he was with Honda. And he indicated that he was just driving the vehicle for them. So you may be right that they were just here for a photo shoot. Both vehicles had leather, sunroof and aluminum accents on the interior, so I assume they were top of the line vehicles.
