Also outlines their reasons for re-joining F1 (hybrid ERS technology development for road cars)

So...
Lude models were always their technology launch pad model...
So...
2015 F1 = 2016/7 turbo Lude with MGU-H and MGU-K???

Civic carries the gimicky (customer facing) type tech, not actual performance/engineering tech.
Likewise with the CRX, it's not real 'performance' tech like they used ludes for?

But hey, yep it's just a suggestion on my part...

The CR-V was the official flagship car when I left. The civic got the earth dreams engine (or whatever it's called) first though to try and claim a stake in the company car market.

I used to be a sales exec for Honda, when the new CR-V was launched I got sent on a training course to learn about it at the Honda Institute

On the subject, did anyone see the new HR-V has been revealed? It's interesting to see that some of the older models are returning in revamped form these days - Nissan Pulsar anyone?
