I live close but I don't think that i'll make it down. There will be plenty of pictures online anyway though. It'll be like you are right there anyways.

 

Still, your impressions of seeing the actual car would be valuable.

 

Being only about 15 days out from The Detroit Press Review, I am becoming convinced that there will be something new then. It sure has been dead otherwise as far as news on the internet for the HR-V.

 

As in some solid pricing and transmissions that will be released in the US?

 

BTW, I phoned Honda Canada to find out if the HR-V would be displayed at the Montreal International Auto Show ( Jan.16th- Jan. 23, 2015). The answer was NO. I found it difficult to understand their reasoning when they are displaying it in the USA auto shows, unless it will be in the Canadian later than in the US dealerships.

 

They did not display it in Phoenix, so you are not alone.

 

It better be at the Philly show next month!!!

 

I wouldn't count on it.....but please report if they do!

 

It comes down to cost. Every time a trade show goes into a convention center it costs major bucks. Floor space, carpeting , electricity, and dreyage. Dreyage you ask? You pay by the pound for every item that gets moved on to a show floor. Not bad if you are talking a feather pillow, but cars weighing a couple of tons add up quickly.

 

But Honda is already at the shows. (In Phoenix that had 3 or 4 CRVs.) It couldn't cost that much more to add one car. Or switch out one of the other copies of another Honda model and use the same space costing them nothing extra.

 

some of more specialty blogs will often proveide detailed show pictures, I would also count on a few people showing up here because they took pictures of HRV at the show...

 

That would be great!
