Much as I like my Honda and the whole experience of owning one they do seem to be on course to offer nothing of any great use to anyone in Europe at the moment, so this is not a surprise. I think they might be surprised that all of Europe does still like good diesels (their effort is woefully weak) and that when push comes to shove a weak hybrid coupé ain't no use to man nor beast - not here in Germany anyway. Their hybrid system is the most backward of the lot too. Their assumptions about when they'll be able to start really selling fuelcell vehicles is almost insanity - even our management wouldn't be quite so over optimistic. Shame, but I think Honda's attitude to Europe was best summed up with their ex-boss who said it was a only a "small" market. But they seem to get caught out by changes in the US too. It's a real pity.
