We need more features like the CRV UK Model

Come on Honda, how about Bluetooth, Xenon Lights, Rain sensing wipers, Fog Lights on the EX models (not dealer installed). Many of us would pay more. I won't even go there when it comes to a Diesel that's available. Members, if you haven't done it visit the Honda UK site and download the Brochure in PDF format and see all the goodies!!

Yes, they get a whole more more - but have you seen the price they have to pay for all those goodies? Americans won't pay that much, hence the lowered content versions we get here.

I think Honda might be surprised what folks might pay. At least give them the options. There may also be a great market for folks to bring in the parts on an aftermarket basis. Just a thought.

So how does that fit into the Pilot and Acura RDX and MDX marketing strategy?
In the US, the V is entry level for Honda. Look at how many LX's are sold in the US.

Believe it or not, there are more people like me who don't want a Pilot-I don't need that much room, don't want an MDX or and RDX and are willing to pay extra for a bit of convenience for a smaller SUV. As a current owner of 2 G35's (1-2006 and 1-2007) I don't want an Acura or a BMW X3 or X5. I've done the BMW thing and don't need the hassle with maintenance. I can afford to pay a bit more for a CRV and would welcome the chance. I've driven the RDX and I'm not impressed-especially for what that vehicle costs.
