This post is by no means a knock on the HR-V. I test drove the EX-L model in Red and love it very much. I am looking for my 2002 Civic replacement and thought it would be easy to just get the HR-V since it blends well with it being a commuter vehicle as well as the occasional cargo hauler (more than a civic truck can hold). However, the test drive results were not entirely positive. See my review here: http://www.hrvforum.com/forum/289-honda-hr-v-general-discussion/8226-anyone-looking-red-2.html
So with that in mind, I think it only makes sense to wait on the other competitors coming out with similar models this year. One that is catching my attention right now is the new Hyundai Tucson. Yes, I know it a Hyundai and not a Honda. I have owned 4 Honda's to date and also help family and friends purchase Hyundais recently. But reading this news release makes me wonder if Hyundai is shaking up the competition. I also realize that it is NOT a true comparison in vehicle class since the Tucson is more a competitor to the CR-V. So, for what its worth, here is the article: http://www.hyundainews.com/us/en/models/tucson/2016
If things turn out that the competition is truly inferior to the HR-V, I will be back and hopefully by then the prices will taper of and be more in the range of negotiable prices. Like many posts here, test drive the vehicles you are interested and test drive them again. I do not work for Honda, Hyundai or any other car manufacturer. I am just the average consumer like most of you here, trying to get the best bang for the buck within reason and using informed decisions.
