the all-new 2016 Honda HR-V is set to challenge the growing subcompact SUV market when it hits Honda dealerships across Canada on July 10

(I was really hoping it would be June) :crying:

Well, who knows, we just might see it early... my dealer thinks so.

I'd really like to see an official colour list for Canada... I'm worried that might be the one place we get less than the US folks.

If you get one color the Canada HRV > USA HRV. Zip it idearat.

I didn't think any models would get centre arm rest

Can't wait for the HRV to arrive! I've been waiting to take this CUV for a drive from long time.

it says, LED taillights! is it really LED, looks totally like standard halogens to me in all the NA photos...
has anyone seen them on in person to report of their look?

That's just one of the things in the published specs that differs from the US spec. Who knows whether we'll actually see all this stuff when the car arrives, but it seems we're getting something more like the Euro spec, which has a bit more bling. One theory is that since they don't have Acura in europe they tend to have more upscale features on their Hondas.

Even though we have Acura in Canada, they seem to think the Euro model is a better fit here... or maybe it's just easier than Metricizing the US models!

Both US and Canadian specs show LED

[idearat]

I think Bicepeak mentioned that only the brake bar across the top of the hatch is LED, and also that the hatch segment of the lower lights is all reflectors, not lights (except for backup lights).

I keep meaning to go through some videos and see if there are any shots from behind of a braking car.

Just to add, anecdotally I've heard that the CX-3 will be in Canadian stores by June, if not mid-June... For those of you cross shopping there are some owner reviews already going up on the CX3 forum.

 

[ddemetra]

That's funny, The 10 most recent discussions cover the last 5 days!
Way less busy then this site, shows how bad the HR-V derangement syndrome is.

 

[vzachev]

ok so we get the hrv 2 months after the us release... that really sucks, boo.
but indeed the cx3 from mazda is all of a sudden available in 2 weeks or so from now in canada. w00t. mazda dealer just confirmed on the phone that the cars are at the port and he will start selling them the latest by end of this month.

i did not see this coming from mazda, was expecting a september release based on previous info and lack of new details!

prices and trims are also available; very hrv-comparable prices.

[idearat]

Wow, hadn't heard the CX3 news. Thought I saw one in a parking lot yesterday, but couldn't stop to check it out, and convinced myself I must be wrong. Just maybe it was!

Interesting that the pictures on that "allnewcx3" site show right-hand drive cockpits.... borrowed the pics from Japan, I guess.

Wow, just noticed something else in the features list on that site... for EX and EXL, it says "power panoramic suroof"!!

That can't be true, surely... but I'd love it if it was!

...but mwd would hunt me down and kill me.

I've seen them mention that before too. They're using the term 'panoramic' VERY loosely! :|

This is a disaster!
I wanted an Red LX CVT 2WD for 22,000 with add on roof rails.

Now I find i can't get red or roof rails unless I buy the EX-L for 31,785.
I may well buy an Subaru Outback for 30,000, and be able to tow 2700 lbs.

She might just do that. She is already after me for the remarks about her favorite "girly" ad !

Well I guess this is the one con, you have awful color choices unless you get the highest level. That's dumb!
