Thanks for nothing Honda. And yes, no wagon please. Although I'd be interested in the I4-T SH-AWD rumored... ]]>Jan 23rd 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/Jan 23rd 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/
Yet Audi, Subaru, BMW, Volvo and VW's small wagons sell very well in the US. The reason the Magnum and G8 wagons died was because they were RWD and powered by giant V8's. Give us a sporty, fuel efficient car like the Tourer and it will sell to those who see "Crossovers" as nothing more than gentrified SUV's.

Small nimble and light 5 door Hatches / wagons are still popular in smaller cars. It's when in the US wagons have to be barges and not purposeful sedans.]]>Jan 23rd 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/Jan 23rd 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/Jan 23rd 2008 3:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/Given the option, 30-40% of cars Candians will buy are wagons - and most are Euro wagons because there is no other choice.

And given the choice of diesel, 40% of Canadians wil choose diesel (that was the experience with VW TDI's)

The funny thing part is that the Canadian auto market is about the same size as California yet there is zero consideration given to our needs on the part of the Detroit 3. Only the Japanese and Europeans will occasionally bring in Canada specific models. And no diesels yet our fuel prices are 30% higher than the US.

As far as Detroit is concerned, Canada is the invisible 51st state - only good for inflated prices - typically 20-30% higher than in US.

With this attitude, is it any wonder that Detroit is losing market share ? The Japs & Euro's may not be much better but at least their cars are fuel efficient.

One way or another, my next car is diesel.]]>Jan 23rd 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/Jan 23rd 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/geneva-08-preview-teaser-images-of-euro-honda-accord-released/
