#31 of 739 Honda advertising diesel by gagrice Nov 12, 2004 (8:03 am)
I'm not sure what audience Honda is targeting. It is a different concept in Automobile advertising. Must appeal to a British audience.   http://www.honda.co.uk/ Replies to this message: 307web (Nov 12, 2004 9:11 am)

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 12, 2004 8:03 am) Volvo had a very similar ad for the V50 on their web site.

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 30, 2004 6:32 pm) 5.4 liters per 100 kilometers is about 43 miles per U.S gallon with that Accord Diesel engine in the UK. Not bad.
#35 of 739 Diesel Wagon by hamilton1005 Jan 17, 2005 (10:10 am)
Any word of Honda coming out with a diesel Accord Wagon. Or, just an Accord wagon. Seems like the only good wagons out there are (Audi, Volvo, Saab, BMW, MB) and they are all high priced. It would seem logical for Honda to offer an Accord wagon. Diesel would be a bonus. Replies to this message: dudleyr (Jan 17, 2005 6:22 pm)

Replying to: hamilton1005 (Jan 17, 2005 10:10 am) That would be a dream. Unfortunately people buy cars for strage reasons, and roomy practical reliable transportation seems to be at the bottom of the list - at least according to manufacturers.

Manufacturers will build, if there are (enough) buyers. Can't blame them, but the people.

People tend to buy what they are told to buy (what they want, not what they need, or what will serve them best). Marketing is the biggest factor. Marketing in turn drives image. Why else would somebody who lives where there is no snow, and has nothing to tow, buy a large SUV for their (50 mile each way) commute.

Or they are waiting patiently for the Honda Accord diesel to make it's way here so they can get Great mileage with a little comfort & Safety....

Replying to: dudleyr (Jan 18, 2005 7:55 am) People tend to buy what they are told to buy   Not necessarily. I can speak for myself, and I don’t. Businesses don’t own me.   Marketing is a part of any business. All businesses have their needs and wants. As do consumers. Businesses could value their needs more than their wants and vice versa or balance them out. It isn’t too different for consumers either. Customers can be misled, but it will often happen if the customer isn’t “educated enough”.   If automakers had their way, they wouldn’t struggle to sell certain vehicles. They should be able to compel the buyers into their showrooms, regardless, right? Automakers have to kill models or complete lines, for most part because they couldn’t “attract enough buyers”.
