That's killer, topping out at $22k for a vehicle like this is awesome and has me thinking that Honda could see a good number of people with Civic's, Accords, Fit's, etc that are looking for a new honda start considering the HRV.
So we are thinking that the HRV will cost more than the FIT then? $20k starting isn't bad either. This is right around where I would be comfortable paying. I can't see them drifting too far from the $20k mark with the HRV.did you guys even bother to read what harry wrote? Its the FIT pricing not HR-V. From the way I understand it, its meant for us to make inferences based on Fit.
Consider that Civic starts at $18,490 and CRV starts at $23,320, so CRV is priced at 126% of Civic.
Now, if we take the FIT's $16,315 entry level price and apply the same 126% we get $20,632. Which makes perfect sense considering that the base CRV is priced equal to a mid range civic, meaning a $20K starting price for HRV would price it in the middle of the FIT range...
its crude, but I think its an effective way of hypothesizing...
will definitely start more than FIT, thats why I used Civic and CRV above. The two have a similar relationship to FIT and HRV...So we are thinking that the HRV will cost more than the FIT then? $20k starting isn't bad either. This is right around where I would be comfortable paying. I can't see them drifting too far from the $20k mark with the HRV.
Not a bad price range to charge in China. Do you think this will do well in China or could be it tough for them?$16,309 - $22,833

Keep in mind, the above is what they are charging in China.
Also keep in mind that in China the Fit starts around 12k.Not a bad price range to charge in China. Do you think this will do well in China or could be it tough for them?
I'm thinking a good portion of their success with this will be in the north american market.
Also keep in mind that in China the Fit starts around 12k.
In Japan the Vezel starts at around 19k. I think we count on the HR-V starting at least 3k over the Fit.
It was a hit when it came out in '03, doing 65k sales that year then fizzled out because of market conditions and Honda never made a 2nd gen during it's 9 yr run.How did the element even do with sales, i remember when it came out, cool vehicle and all but i haven't see that many on the road. not as many as i'd think be out for the type of vehicle it is. at least with the HRV they will more than likey see some great sales volume.
Bicepeak - Where did you hear the Jan 12th date? I assumed Chicago Show in Feb.
Thanks.
