im not biased, i just tell it how it is.

True to a large extent. Strangely enough, the offerings from today's SUVs have a fairly large price range, and probably one of the highest variance of any segment.
However, I believe there's a perceived upper limit for mid sized SUVs to be 50K, and 7 seater SUVs to be upper limited at 65K, and anything above that seems to go into luxury range. At the lower end, it is now starting from 30K.
Once the CR-V and CX-5 cross the threshold of 50K, it starts competing and cannibalising into the 7 seater mid level spec SUV (eg CX-9, Kluger, Santa Fe Elite) or the semi luxury variants (Murano, BMW X1).
Honda is best to bring in a MDX to compete in the 45- 65K range, which is sorely missing from Honda's range now.
On a separate note, if the RAV4 came in a hybrid engine, the case would have been more compelling, but without rear seat air and nothing really special (at least they have a v6 last model), I wouldn't know to what extent would a RAV4 sell other than being a toyota.

MDX was one of the best cars i ever drove and sold! its a pitty they dropped it here. They did thay only due to volume and not worth converting to RHD for the amount we sell.
They new MDX is just amazing and if we had it here i would buy one for sure!
also just telling someone u spent 50k on a Hyundai just doesnt sound good lol

Agreed. Unfortunately, the Aussie market isn't big enough, and the USA market is a major market for Honda/Acura. I only HOPE that they bring in the NSX here in 2015. The old NSX still appeals. That will invigorate the brand and bring back fond memories, and since I've got the CR-V, I am in no hurry to get the MDX. Truth be told though, if MDX doesn't come into play in 3-5 years, chances are I would be moving on to the Lexus new SUV, codenamed NX, with the hybrid powerplant, smaller than the RX.

I used to have the same thought and still do to small degree, but Hyundai has really bucked up their game especially with their onslew on new models and good exterior designs.
Honda has a very good lasting appeal with all their vehicles but quality hasn't much improved over the years. I still have minor gripes on this new CR-V, little things every other day that I find, telling of less than desirable QC in the Thai plant. The Lexus on the other hand, seriously Faultless (but fairly boring to drive :P i must admit) . New GOOD things I find every other day when I first got my car
-
haha yeah true, but remember the $$$ for the lexus so it has to be faultless!
Ive always admired luxus too.

What do you think of this colour scheme for the leather seat (if possible)? Any suggestions/opinions welcomed.
This is self created for now. Combination of Hot Red Cushion, Dark Grey inserts (ideally perforated), white logo and dark grey stitches.
Thanks in advance.

Looked at it, similar but reversed, or either that all red, which I kinda liked as well. However, all red might be tad too ricey, and similar to a previously owned car.

tell me about it. Honda are so slow! we will get the diesel but prob not till this year to early next. It will come though. These things do happen. Look at Mazda, the cx5 only came in 2.0 and diesel for arounf 6 months. The key engine was the 2.5 in that time and they didnt have one.
Took the family for a spin up to the hills on the weekend in the CRV loved it. Did really well with 4 adults and a baby.
