02boostlessCIV has a spectacular aura about

European Honda FR-V 3+3 5dr

I just seen a comercial for a Honda FR-V yes FR-V not CR-V well anyways I thought it was pretty cool. Smaller version of the odyssey. However this is a 5 door 6 (i repeat 6) seater. Well no more bragging. Take a look.

i remember reading about it a little while back. i think its got some new version of the ivtec to maximize fuel efficiency. there was something unique about the power plant that i cant remember.

What the heck are honda designers thinking!

Also, that one pic of the "8th gen civic" better not be the right pic as well.

I am a honda-or-die kind of guy but the REALLY need to fire (

)their design department.

CivicsRdBest is a glorious beacon of light

It's actually fairly popular in Europe. Looks alone, it's pretty good compared to some other European cars. 6 seater is awesome too. The middle seat can move backwards so you don't bump elbows with the driver.

I am a honda-or-die kind of guy too and believe me i think it looks better than most of the cars on the european market. And as a surpsrise to many, it's one of the biggest cars out there. Europe is all about gas saving which= little power plants= little cars. This car stands out and is comparable to an odyssey in US. Also when you convert the gas price in Europe and here, Europe $5.50>US(chicago)$2.00 you see why they go with the smaller cars.
