If the next gen Accord Euro comes from Thailand, would anyone be buying it? Let's pray hard it's not going to happen.
Have you ever wondered why after being on sale for a year, the Civic is still way below the sales of Corolla, Mazda3 and Lancer. It is Made in Thailand.
Please stop. I don't want to start laughing at you trying to be the next Honda Enthusiast.
of the 3 choices; cx7, captiva and crv, i would go for the cx7, if u are happy with the firmer ride.. it is firmer than any suv, but no more sporty than the accord euro.
the new crv used to be in my shopping list, but i just cant stand the fugly front
lol but i do love the new CX7 turbo luxury! id take that over the captiva!
but i dont think the crv is up there with the CX7 with apples to apples but its kinda close!
CX7 standard around $45k lux 50k turbo 4cl
CRV lux 46k 2.4 n/a 4cyl

I didn't like the first pics that were posted on it. Hated the front and still do.
I saw it at the local release and to be honest its a very good car. There are a lot of good changes. So far as pricing goes the base model has enough features to get it over the line. The sport seems to be priced a little high considering the lack of extra things you get. Previously The sport was better value for money. The Lux is simply + leather so far as I can see.
One of the better changes is the driver and passenger access. The door shape and relative seat position make it much easier to get in and out. The dash and controls are also better finished off and the enclosed center console is a nice addition which should have been there from the gen 1.
Overall I like it but the front grille needs to be fixed. The Mugen one looks like an improvement.
I'll be accompanying my old man to have a look at one this weekend. He's looking for something to replace his 06 Rav4. (candidates: CX7, Captiva, and of course the CRV)
Replace his 2006 Rav4? Is there something about it he didn't like or ?

There's an optional "honeycomb" mesh for the upper and lower grills. IMO it looks much nicer than the horizontal bars. Since it's an option, that means $$$.
The Mazda CX-7 looks like a good competitor. Overall the top of the range would only cost a couple of thousand more than the CRV-Lux. Allegiances will be tested!!!
