So if I read this correctly it looks like Honda has given the Dealers news about the HRV. I assume that means either the owner or general manager, not sales people.

Hi shu.....always good to get the latest from you.


I not so sure that means much as far as dealers. It just sounds like the usual pep talk for dealers.


Although I do love your scenario of secret information to the managers.....soon to be revealed to us!


Here is the article from the link....


"Automotive News
January 24, 2015 - 6:37 pm ET
Honda expects to beat last year's 1 percent U.S. sales increase as it breathes new life into its truck lineup in 2015.
The automaker plans to sell between 70,000 and 80,000 units of the new HR-V compact crossover, which launches in spring, for the first 12 months "when it's up and running," said Jeff Conrad, general manager of the Honda division.
"It's going to bring us some customers we haven't seen in the past. Now we have an entry-level crossover," Conrad said after Honda executives met with dealers Saturday.
Honda's U.S. truck deliveries rose slightly in 2014 in a light-truck market that expanded 10 percent."

I think this is the typical thing that happens when a new model comes out. Just telling them about the vehicle and overall strategy. I don't really think that I would call it secret information.

I didn't really see any news in the article ....just projections about what they expect to sell.
Maybe the dealers have a decoder ring and when they enter the words from this speech, it says "sale date" and "pricing".?

i agree, it's more like breaking information to us especially after this period we've had of just nothing coming from them.
