Well, I just got back from my honeymoon and I thought I would share some pictures I took of Hondas while in London. Nothing too exciting and I'm sorry to say that I wasn't able to get a picture of a Honda dealership there. Oh and the last car picture is just for fun.

ffff

dddd

I like these little cars. Yet, I saw a dealership have an advertisement for used versions starting at 3,000 pounds and the currency exchange at the time was 1 dollar = .52 pounds

Finally -- I don't have a picture, but gas was 96.9 pence (.969 pounds) per litre as of this past Saturday just outside of central London.

Always cool to see different Honda's that aren't available to us in The States. Some of them are quite cool. Makes you wonder way American Honda doesn't have a more complete lineup.

Spades, hope you know those cars are for sale in Canada? :thumbsup:

there is a place in NY that has 8-10 of them as decoration pieces. fully functional.

I didn't know those little cars were in Canada! I would love to drive one but it would probably be a little scary as well.

There was one Honda that I didn't get a picture of that I thought was really cool. I'll try to look it up later but maybe some of you will know what it was -- it was a small car no larger than the US Civic, probably smaller, and it had a curvy look in the front with headlights going all across the front.

I saw a CR-V that pretty much looked identical to the US version. All in all, I didn't see many Hondas. I saw a lot of Mercedes, BMW's, and Vauxhalls. While there were a few strange and cheap looking Mercedes, I was surprised by how many S Classes I saw considering how expensive it is to live there.

I was paying around $60 a night for dinner and eating at places like TGI Fridays for two. I was buying 8 ounce glass bottles of Coke in restaurants for $5. We used the train system but had we rented a car, we would have have to pay a weekday city tax to drive plus pay $84 PER NIGHT to park at the hotel we were staying at!

We did Europe last year and really didn't see very many Honda's at all. London had very few as Ford is very strong as well as a few other European makes. We saw a few more in Paris but parking is so bad, there is a large abundance of the Smart cars as well as anything small. Gee, you should see the way they shoehorn the cars into spaces! Talk about USING your bumper! As a side note, a lot of the cars are diesel. Really quiet and you can't really smell the exhaust like in US diesels. Not sure how clean burning they are though.

Spades you saw a european Civic. Same car, different look.

I'm pretty sure that what he posted was the last generation Civic.

Thank you, Karen. That was it!

I like the UK Honda Accord more than the North American version, it may lack the power but it looks sharper. Honda's are more of a luxury line back in England, more of an executive company car.

Back seats too cramped to fit big Americans!

Lol :D

It is the "luxury" Acura TSX here in the States. A nice badge engineering job.

Lol :D
Some Americans fit in the back seat of the TSX. We have some nice ones at the office - keeping their bigger American cousins company :lmao: .
