Rumor has it that Honda will be bringing this wagon to the USA. Anyone know more about this...? Thanks for any news.

Yes, my wife could use a Latitude. Something she can steer. The Odyssey is too big and too expensive especially for us overtaxed Canadians. Note the number of poor Canadians on these forums.

Count me in on that! Despite our poverty, we could use a little Latitude.
 
I expect the Latitude will do well here -- the smaller Mazda MPV does much better here (1.2% share of total mkt)than in the USA (0.4% share), and I remember reading somewhere that the split between regular and Grand Caravan/Voyagers is 60/40 in Canada, and 40/60 in the USA. The Nissan Axxess and Eagle Summit wagons sold much better here too.
 
However, it all comes down to pricing. Let's hope they can price it under $25K. The Stream goes for about 2,000 euros less than the CR-V in Germany, so $25K should be realistic.

#6 of 576 here's 2 things i'm afraid will happen by marcb

Jul 30, 2002 (6:35 am)

when it gets here in North America
 
First: It could get a bigger engine. Actually this would be fine as long as the fuel efficiency is kept (I doubt it).
 
Second: It will loose it's 3rd row seat and compete with the Toyota Matrix instead of setting a new Micro van trend. I'm sure there will be takers, but it would be nice to set new grounds for smaller efficient MPV's here in NA.
 
oh btw, for the 1st timers: The Stream in Europw is what will be the Latitude in NA.

#7 of 576 Hi marcb- Yes, you should credit for this whole discussion. ;-) by revka

Thanks for bringing up the subject in our Honda Fit/Jazz discussion. So where's that article you linked there? Perhaps you'd like to copy/paste it over here....

Credit for breaking the news about the Stream coming over under the Latitude banner goes to Ropedart (over in the Honda Element discussion). He mentioned this about a week or two ago. I've been bouncing between the Fit/Jazz thread and the Honda Element thread looking for discusisons on this car.
 
I'm glad Revka opened up this thread -- I had e-mailed Steve in the Vans board to get him to de-archive the Honda Stream thread, but I guess he never did.
 
As long as we have a place to meet and chat, I'm happy. Thanks for posting that link, Marcb. Topgear magazine from the UK had a great 2-way comparison of the Stream against the Zafira in their Oct 2001 issue. They don't seem to keep it on their site though.

Roughly the Latitude will be taller than a Suzuki Aerio but has about the width/length of the Focus SW:

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
dimensions Length Width Height
Aerio 166.5" 67.7" 61.0"
Focus SW 178.2" 66.9" 53.9"
Latitude 179.0" 67.0" 62.6"

(fer cryin out loud, can't figure why this dang thing wants to go all the way here).
