Spy photo spotted (within the last 3 months, in California) a Honda Stream. Any indication if this mini-minivan is coming to market in USA & Canada? It looks to be the size similar to a Madza 5.

Replying to: autowrite (Jul 30, 2007 7:20 am) The 5 has been a success and Kia saw fit to bring the Rondo, so I do hope the segment expands.   The Dodge warranty does require a powertrain inspection every 5 years. That's really not a big deal, and I'm sure it's just to ensure that people have their transmission serviced and all the fluids serviced.

Cool.   Mileage is using 2008 standards, but still 1 mpg city and highway behind the Sienna and Ody with VCM. They tie the Odyssey without VCM.

Replying to: dennisctc (Aug 03, 2007 3:32 am) Swivel seats came as a result of an "ethnographic" research project Chrysler began three years ago. Researchers followed 30 families around in their daily lives in search of ideas for the new minivan. The eureka moment came when researchers noticed that families, and children in particular, spent a lot of time around the kitchen table interacting.   You know what's funny? We were one of those families.   Seriously, they flew out a couple of ladies from Detroit and they spent a day with us at our house, watching how we interacted.   I think by then the design was already set, but they probably used our input to decide how to market the feature.   We were paid a nice sum for our time. Thanks Chrysler!   We couldn't wait, though, and bought our van back in May. Replies to this message: autowrite (Aug 05, 2007 6:16 pm) dennisctc (Aug 06, 2007 2:42 am)
