We've started up a 2007 discussion for the new CR-V talk - here's the link: 2007 Honda CR-V Some of the posts in here will be moved over there to help seed the discussion, so the thread chronology may be a bit disjointed for a day or so. Steve, Host |

If you want to talk about the current model still on sale at your local Honda dealership, please do so.  Steve, Host

For a year we debated between a V, Forester X and new model RAV. We waited and got the RAV. I know, probably should have waited another 6 months for the new V. Anyway, I have a friend in a similar situation. I guess Honda has good financing on the 06 (soon to be old style) Vs. To me the car was fine but I do recall an issue with fires. In fact there used to be a forum devoted to it but it appears to be missing. I wanted to reccomend browsing thru this forum. I was also curious if Honda ever developed a solution to the issue? Anyone know where the forum went or care to provide an update?

Replying to: easy2t2 (Jul 11, 2006 2:40 pm) It was a rumor when I posted, but it is no more. Planned Honda turbodiesel for U.S. would likely debut on Civic, Accord or CR-V By KATHY JACKSON | AUTOMOTIVE NEWS AutoWeek | Published 07/09/06, 1:48 pm et VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- When Honda sells its first diesel engine in the United States, it likely will be in the Civic, Accord or CR-V. John Watts, manager of Honda's U.S. product planning, said Honda plans to introduce a clean-burning, 2.2-liter turbodiesel in the United States within three years. "That 2.2 could probably crank out about 200 horsepower and about 220 (pounds-feet of) torque at little rpm," he said at a press event here. "Vehicles like the Pilot (SUV) and Odyssey (minivan) are too big for a four-cylinder." Honda sells a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine in Europe, but Watts says it does not meet U.S. emission standards. Takeo Fukui, Honda Motor Co. CEO, said in late June that the company will unveil a four-cylinder diesel in the United States that will run as clean as a gasoline engine. Watts thinks diesel will catch on in this country if the engines can go 400 miles on a single tank of fuel. "I think four cylinders and diesels make a lot of sense with the price of gas," Watts says. "But we're looking at everything -- diesels, compressed natural gas, fuel cells, hybrids and E85. We don't believe there's one solution." Watts also said the Honda Division may need to add another SUV to its lineup. "We don't know what it will be yet," he says. "Maybe something between a minivan and a SUV. But we do need something between the CR-V and the Pilot." |

I am an '06 Ridgeline owner and my wife has an '01 Accord. She is interested in both the CR-Vs and Elements (not for the looks). She basically wants a bike and dog (2 dogs) hauler. The Accord is only a two door. Has anyone bought a CR-V and wished they had gone with the Element or vice versa? If so what's the reason? The wife and I can't really decide especially since the reliability history seems to be about the same. Thanks for any input.
