JDM is a very misleading term nowadays

JDM should only refer to models that are sold in Japan only and not other countries

anyway Cross is also sold in Japan, and also in major markets eg: Europe and US. But their Cross is far more superior than us when it comes to spec (multi link rear suspension, Dynamic Force drivetrain)

yes, HRV is using the old flip rear view mirror such an eyesore when i saw it

Sorri ler…X5 ‘s front light beam is original ler and it’s more blinding than those modified one. Can’t have everything la…ACC also not available in some of the high end cars like bmw and mercs ler. I don’t hear many owners complaints .

majority will tell you driving a Merc and BMW is different from driving a Honda

They should test drive the GLa and also the HRV to compare. I belip both are n the same segment!

If that person budget is in GLA range, dont even need to consider HRV already lo

No mah! To experience the difference bet jap and conti ma.lol

It depends on dealer to dealer i guess. I've started seeing many are receiving their cars already. Some even booked on 29th June and received their car on 29th July.

So i guess it all depends on luck (the dealer and the SA) how hard they push for the car allocation.

Yeah… I saw someone posted a video of rows of new HRVs waiting for collection in Nilai showroom. I guess that dealer was able to secure a lot more allocations.

Yeap. Normally large showrooms will be able to secure more units.

Booking with dealer is one thing. When the SA/Dealer key into the Honda system is another. I may be completely wrong as I am not an SA, but as far as I understand, Honda & dealer assign the delivery according to your booking in the Honda system.

Whether your dealer can pay to get the delivery is another - bigger dealership presumably has better cashflow to secure cars- dealer has to pay for the car to be delivered to them. Then wait for SA to secure loan + register to customer. Then bank disburse the money to dealer after you confirm the car has been received.

There is one driving experience review on the v spec Liao on YouTube. Waiting for your FR soon. Btw, you bought through which dealer ah in Jb. Yong Meng?

The old model can pay to upgrade, not sure for this new hrv

Yong Ming at Jalan Skudai - have a long relationship with them.

I booked mine at Botanic Auto Mall, I thought it’s a rather large kind of dealer lol

Just view my car today RS Grey before sent for tint and coat.

I just have one question though. I booked with Honda DVR and Wireless charger but none is fixed at the factory. SA said its fixed at their service center by expert. Is this normal? Dunt the factory fix dvr before fixing roof panel?

I also know the boss Kim quite well! But my wife’s unit is booked through dealer in okr.in fact I booked through HM website , they assigned this dealer to me! Lol.maybe I stay in taman OUg area.

No laaa. Service Centre will affix it. For DVR definitely will affix it after tint.

Kim mostly at Yong Ming Gudang. His son is now in charge of YM Jalan Skudai. Why didn’t you book with Kim la? Surely can get special treatment

Didn’t cross my mind at the time of booking the car. Anyway hope my wife ‘s car can get by September as per estimation by the SA. Plan to drive all the way up north to Bukit kayu hitam. Don’t think SA or the dealers will give discount for this brand new model anyway.

Oh really. Like that they'll have to open again the roof panel to run the cables. Wouldn't it be messy and untidy
