2015 Honda HR-V: A sleeker, larger version of the Honda Fit

Looks much sleeker than the Nissan Juke but I'm sure cargo capacity won't be as good.

If this will cost like a Honda Civic, maybe I'll succumbed to getting a CUV for our next car (the 1.5L hybrid if between $22 & 24k won't be a bad idea either).

Please Honda. Not the gutless 1.5l engine from the Fit.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Looks like a mini MDX.

This will sell well if they have the power to back up the looks.

More like competition for the Chevy Trax, Buick Encore, Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman, Fiat 500L....

Wow, stunner.

Stunned some of the public likes no storage behind the 2nd row seats and massive blind spots .
There are much better cars and wagons with 4wd . Not a pretend SUV/CUV .

A civic is 'slightly' larger than a fit... and that thing is a Japanese clown car, and so uncomfortable!

It will most likely get a gutless motor, how 'large' [in displacement] can a car company go in a CUV, when the CRV comes with a 2.4 i4....

I will be in a need of a car in a year or two. Currently we like the Cx-5 but if this Pretzel is much better on gas and cheaper than the Cx-5 we can sacrifice the size difference. I also think Hondas make better cars than Mazda's.

I would guess pricing would follow or be slightly higher than Juke. My prediction for hybrid drive 2wd base would be around 26K.

I doubt it would be any better on gas than the CX5.

"Pretzel"?

I was thinking more along the lines of "Weasel".

12 months for condemning rape. 6 months for calling violent thugs "nasty". WTH? Is this IS?
