Hello Honda, hope your listening

The needed 7 passenger now selling in Japan hopefully will come to USA soon.

If you look at the dimensions of this vehicle it's actually smaller than the current US CRV models. Most Americans drive vehicles too large for their normal everyday driving needs. Really, how many soccer mom's and real estate agents need H-2 Hummers???

Dosen't the Pilot seat 7?

[Sandpebble]

The Pilot is due for a major redue as it is not the most popular in it's current design. The Crossroads is narrower and much lighter in a category of its own. It's towable like the CRV but more seats. CRV's and Crossroads weigh around 3500 LBS, Pilot is 4500 LBS. The CRV, Element, and Crossroads will have the 2.2DTEC the Pilot, Ridgeline and Odyssey will have the V-6 Diesel. Hopefully in the states by late 2008. Still don't know about the new diesel automatics being built in US for these units. Hopefully it's factory direct towable like the gasoline powered Automatics. Hoping they go to 6 speed automatics too.

Dosen't the Pilot seat 7?

Yes, it does.

There is NO need for a vehicle as small as the CR-V to seat 7, not to mention it is unsafe to seat passengers in something that is designed to be a crumple zone. :rolleyes:
