I can’t help thinking that I’ve seen something similar to the new BMW Z4 advert somewhere before.

New HR-V?
Posted on January 5, 2007, by Darren, under Cars, Technology.
Spy pics are currently doing the rounds on a possible new Honda HR-V replacement for 2008-2009 (click image to enlarge).
There is a lot of spin around the vehicle at the moment, mainly on whether it is in fact a JDM at all (lots of poorly informed people are touting it as a Ford due to ‘it being parked next to a Land Rover Discovery 3!) – but there are many indicators to say that is could be the new replacement for the HR-V.
It’s said to be longer than the original HR-V (490mm longer), but smaller than the recently updated CR-V. A 7-seat configuration is also being touted – which would be a huge improvement on the poor 4-seat layout on the old model.
Styling cues on the car also point to Honda, take for example the front grill – this configuration has recently been seen on the Stepvan Concept and Mobilio Spike concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Other cues include the front window/B-Pillar being very simiar to the Element (sources say that the Element is not yet ready for a major redesign so this rules that model out).
Whatever comes of it – I doubt it would be called the HR-V anyway.
Update: TheHollywoodExtra is saying the car IS a Honda and that it WON’T be called HR-V, but rather the Honda Crossover. This could mean that the second image above is a concept for the new Stream model.

What was your first car? Was it a little Fiesta/Corsa/Panda etc? I bet you had it because of insurance/cheap to run reasons right?
These were the vehicles I was looking at whilst having lessons late 2004/early 2005. None of them really appealed though as I would always be thinking ‘I’d like something a little bigger… with a bit more speed and reliability’.
There was always one car I’d liked the look of (more…)

HR-V shop is open!
Posted on December 4, 2005, by Darren, under Cars, Personal, Technology.
My new shop is open (at long last), and offers T-Shirts, caps and bags – all adorned with the HR-V logo.
One of the best shirts on offer is the new Black shirt (see left) with a white logo. White and yellow shirts are also available, as are ladies tops too.
Also on offer is a HR-V mouse mat, featuring the rear roof/spoiler section of the car, and a HR-V logo. Prices are in US Dollars, so use a Currency Converter to work out prices if you don’t live in the States.

Yes I’m a big kid. I know… but I couldn’t resist purchasing this ‘pull-back’ toy of my car, basically because it’s the only toy ever made that’s based on the HR-V (click the image to enlarge it).
It’s got one hell of a motor in it as it goes for miles on a full ‘pull’!
