Automotive News reports Honda announced the Fit-based subcompact crossover will be called the HR-V, releasing the first official photos during the 2014 New York Auto Show. The crossover will enter U.S. showrooms later this year from Honda’s Celaya, Mexico plant, where the Fit is made, and will be priced just below the CR-V, currently $23,775 to start.

    BTW - For future reference should any other wingnut bring the Buick Encore as a possible competitor to the HR-V back into the discussion . Having strolled across the net ... the average Retail price of an Encore is ; $29,000 Average ! Prices going as high in some markets as $35,000 + So rest easy . Once again the Honda HR-Vs sales success is all but guaranteed

      No, you're wrong. I priced an Encore with every available option and I couldn't get it over $32K. If you're going to be the auto-antichrist at least come to the battle armed

    While I like the size and price and I think Honda is correctly attacking the right segment the from looks like a bad older gen Hyundai. I just don't get this style wise, heck even the Nissan Juke and Buick Encore look far more superior. The second gen or refresh can't come quick enough for me, but I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

  • Master Baiter I'm skeptical of any project with government strings attached. I've read that the new CHIPS act which is supposed to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. is so loaded with DEI requirements that companies would rather not even bother trying to set up shop here. Cheaper to keep buying from TSMC.
