I share the same sentiment, not so trustworthy salesman plus not so trustworthy government, when answer can be vague and later U turned.

So to get dual air Cond zone , one must buy the top RS trim? The > 7.5k basic income has been mentioned . Interesting.....

Am I alone to think this could be the Achilles heel? And a deal breaker for some?

Honda is worse hit than Toyota in terms of chips shortage than Toyota, so maybe this is their way of evading the problem (by granting older tech?)

It may be not for you but I think it would be for many? In Thailand I think dual zone is offered to two variants out of three ? Though in Thailand , they only offer hybrid drivetrain.

Sounds like more short changes for Malaysian. The most sensible choice is RS. But you need to have more than 7.5k basic income to get it and the appetite for the hybrid drivetrains as well as living with the sunroof

I believe this is the push from Honda for its i-MMD drive, hope Malaysian will finally bite, chew and swallow it up like our up north neighbour.

Too bad Nissan is missing the action with its e power

How nice it would be to be able to choose from three instead of two like our neighbour

Oh wait, I remember I have read it somewhere it will be difficult for Nissan...Oh here it is the article that talk about that

Good stuff

Who is right ? who is wrong?
Delivery dates not yet in sight, the wait is long.
Prices yet come to light, but dealer is beating gong.
All Lips are tight, but everyone sing song.

Internal memo or no internal memo is not the issue.

The issue here is delivery date has been delayed and delayed and expect more delayed.

A relative booked a CRV back in February this year, to date still no car. Come on Honda Malaysia, what are you guys doing?

So....

Don't be too overly optimistic about delivery dates, otherwise you may be disappointed.

Old news but ....

Review by Top Gear, a good read

Good price. I think IMMD is the one to go for. But that's just me

Abandon Hope on that

Just realized that dimensions and boot space of the new HRV is just comparable to Proton X50

https://www.carbase.my/car-comparison?id=Sv...56Ut,RS3KEYtRWm,

Suddenly HRV is not that attractive any more. Damn it

Both brands already talking about about a year long wait. Incidentally both dealers are DRB HICOM people. No need to compete already.

You should get your car when ? My relative still hasn't got his CRV . Keep up the good work in making this thread alive. I am with you , you have my support.

Heard SA now pushing for S entry variant, promising faster delivery and what not, just wondering due to cancellation of booking or what.

This book and cancel thing is really creating a headache for dealers to be fair

Perhaps it is a directive from out government...No. I am kidding.

Most likely is to get SST exemption, the rules are not so clear, to declare a lot of red tapes, and governments officials from Custom give them a lot of troubles bacause "god damn too many people " buying cars pre SST and I only want to do my 9 to 5 and go home , so I don't care", etc. etc.

So SA will try to convince you to give up your pre booked unit and take post SST stocks because their life is simpler, you will get your car fast, it is an option. And some may just do it.

I wonder if UMW or Perodua or Proton will do the same to those booked pre SST? I am really wondering
