Didyaknow: Honda Owner's Link

Re: Didyaknow: Honda Owner's Link
Hi Jeff,
yup, I tried it myself and it also failed. On the screen that says that it didn't find the VIN, there is a notice that only American VINs can be entered. Now, there is a similar feature on the honda canada site (My Garage), but, the honda canada site doesn't even mention the hybrid 2006 (guess it's not in Canada yet ).
Cheers,
Stephane.

I'm on it too - nice one-stop-shop to look at my loan (through Honda) and see the car specs. Can also shop for parts there too, which I recently had to do.
Anyone pick up that the EPA mileage reports have changed? On my sticker (which I kept), my car is listed at 48/47 MPG. On this site, it's "CVT (City/Highway): 46/51".

It's all about relationship marketing in two different directions: the Horizontal is that the car is actually the "cell phone," and the SERVICE DEPARTMENT is your cell phone bill. Profit-wise, the store tends to make more money by fixing and accessorizing your car, than they do by selling it to you (at least in the case of a new car.)
Then the Vertical method is to get you started off in a civic as soon as you fall out of high school, take you up through the ranks with Accords, pop you over to Acura. (This works easier with a 3-tier company like Toyota (Scion to Toyota to Lexus) than with Honda's 2-Tier system, but the concept is to build brand loyalty across the whole "family" of companies, over a long period of time.
So the more emails they send out for $15 oil changes, the more likely you are to buy that Acrua RL, 20 years from now. It's the Butterfly Effect.

Can't I just have the Groovy iPod link thing from the 06 AND the bum-hugging seats of my 03 Civic, both in my Accord?
I grow weary of people asking me when my REAL car will be out of the shop, and I can give my Mom her Accord back
