Yeah. I think he's going to lease a touareg. He want to buy a PHEV in a few years when his lease is up.

I would like to see Honda release a Hybrid CR-V (Technically it is a Civic)

Yes, I agree - I think it would do well versus the FEH, HyHi and any other crossover.

Some believe that they will, in one or two years' time.

What do you mean by technically it's a civic? Does it use a lot of the same parts or what?

The CR-V is based off of the Civic Chassis. The engine is the same engine with a modified 4 wheel drive system.

This is the same practise used by others in the industry.
The RAV 4 is a Carolla Chassis, the Highlander is a Camary Chassis.

The Honda Oddessey Van shares platforms with Pilot and Ridgeline.

The Fit is all by itself for the moment.

Platforms are basically the industry's way of cutting down costs.
