*This is from perusal of specs for other countries. Doubt ours will be any different in that regard.

Buyers of the TOTL might not mind that the Sportage and CX-5 make much more power (around 180-185 hp each). The old CR-V sold well, despite having a gasoline engine that made just over 160 hp. But the midrange FWD will be the big sticking point in this question.

We will supposedly know much more by the launch next week. ;)

So far, so good. Just the fact that Honda is releasing a diesel should boost sales to clients who've been waiting patiently for Honda to release something to compete with the Fort-Monty-Eve-et-al.
I've heard that Honda Philippines will only bring the 120ps diesel engine (not the 160ps version) even for the TOTL AWD. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
