Bloggers share their experiences driving the all-new, redesigned 2012 Honda CR-V with greater fuel efficiency and added features and functionality. The CR-V will go on-sale at Honda dealerships nationwide on December 15th.
@crisriv37 honda announced they where going to start using direct injection in some of there engines and honda already has 6 speed trans also if you think about it honda isnt really behind because the fact that they manufacture dirtbikes,quads,marine engines,motorcycles,planes, and alot of other things NO OTHER car manufacture does and still manages to be one of the greastest car companys on the planet is amazing there even the largest engine maker for indy and are returning to F1 in 2014
@1969laulau They probably are trying to disassociate from combustion engine development, thinking about a future without it. I read they are going to present 6 new all electric models in the Tokyo auto show this year. Could it be they are planning to abandon gas engines at all in 10 or 15 years? They are working very hard developing the Asimo new capabilities and even the Honda Jet but what's going on with car technologies? I feel very curious about it and would like to know why they are behind.
@1969laulau you are totally right and I agree with you but I love Honda reliability and would not gamble with any other auto brand for the sake of technology. However I am asking the same questions myself. Why not introducing all the new technologies in the new cars? I think that if they do they will be competitive and reliable as well. Honda is lacking direct injection, 6,7 or 8 speed trans, led lights, rear drive sport coupes, diesels, dual clutch and many others. Why? That's tech stagnation
Minus ---------- - No front or back led - No Xenon Headlights - Same 2.4 ltr - Same 5 speed auto - Removing Indicator lights on side mirrors - Pushing the eco button to save fuel (but why) - No start/stop functions - Ugly design - Very ugly design Plus ------ ........... Verdict ---------- Get a Kia Sportage or a Hyundai ix35 or better yet the new Mazda CX-5 Honda is going backwards imo, no more preludes, no more Integra last but not least Honda Legend is a fail. Sayonara Honda!
I just ordered a white CR-V 2012 LX model, gonna be avaliable on the mid of Feb., so excitied~~
