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.

- Redapple2 .....styling has moved into [s]exotic car territory[/s] tortured over done origami land. There; I fixed it. C 7 is best looking.
- TheEndlessEnigma Of course they should unionize. US based automotive production component production and auto assembly plants with unionized memberships produce the highest quality products in the automotive sector. Just look at the high quality products produced by GM, Ford and Chrysler!
- Redapple2 Got cha. No big.
- Theflyersfan The wheel and tire combo is tragic and the "M Stripe" has to go, but overall, this one is a keeper. Provided the mileage isn't 300,000 and the service records don't read like a horror novel, this could be one of the last (almost) unmodified E34s out there that isn't rotting in a barn. I can see this ad being taken down quickly due to someone taking the chance. Recently had some good finds here. Which means Monday, we'll see a 1999 Honda Civic with falling off body mods from Pep Boys, a rusted fart can, Honda Rot with bad paint, 400,000 miles, and a biohazard interior, all for the unrealistic price of $10,000.
- Theflyersfan Expect a press report about an expansion of VW's Mexican plant any day now. I'm all for worker's rights to get the best (and fair) wages and benefits possible, but didn't VW, and for that matter many of the Asian and European carmaker plants in the south, already have as good of, if not better wages already? This can drive a wedge in those plants and this might be a case of be careful what you wish for.

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
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
