One thing I do not like on the HRV or CRV is the black trim all the way around the car. I think they would of done more justice of keeping it all body colored all the way around even bumpers. That black trim will cheapen after the years tick away.

I see what you mean, but at the same time I think that for the price this vehicle is selling for it makes sense to be using black plastic just a bit. I really don't think that it makes the car look that bad. They didn't overuse it.

Right......I think they are using just the right amount.
Keep in mind that lower portions are going to get scuffed and the body color will make those scuffs really obvious.

I'd like if they offered a painted two tone option, always thought that looked good...

There are some good products on the market to keep that trim in new condition!

It would be a good option to offer but I get the feeling it would be aftermarket instead of OEM. People who are into customization could definitely do something good with that idea. I'd be happy to see it.

No, I think it is going to be an accessory being that it was on both the Detroit and Montreal cars. And Honda does offer "sport" grills on other models. I don't think Honda would be jumping the gun and promoting aftermarket items before sale date, if ever.
