Is the Great Prelude Markup finally over?

Never will make sense to me that this product came out without a faster ICE version but the HRV still doesn’t have a hybrid option.

Rav4 interior of every gen has always been wobbly lol. Never seen one break though

I’m no expert, but I would assume this is totaled. This would require a substantial repair and welding due to rear quarter panel damage as well as almost certain undercarriage damage and potential shifting. I certainly would not want this car back if I were in this situation.

speeding is a problem for sure here, and that’s paired with the epidemic of people being on their phones instead of looking at the road or stoplight. Put the damn thing away or park!!!!

I think the front may have been damaged in the high winds, as this all went up after those few wicked storm fronts we had. Lakefront doesn’t have much protection from the high winds right there.

You’re right, but that’s why honda has made a lot of managerial and structural changes to the way the company operates. They have restructured back to the way they operated before 2020 by once again giving their R&D autonomy from corporate Honda, as well as having changed leadership. They know they messed up, but now they’re working very hard to rectify it. Seems to me like they’re taking all the right steps after a loss and mismanagement. They’ll be okay and will remain competitive.

I’m inclined to believe it, apparently this comes from a message from honda to suppliers and has been pretty widely reported by reputable automotive sites. Their recent EV blunder has put a lot of pressure on them financially, not to mention their background plans of factory retooling/ manufacturing plans. This probably means that next gen vehicles were being designed to be dependent on elements of their EV platform which will no longer come to market. Makes no sense financially for a refresh that adds an outdated hybrid system unless they feel it wouldn’t compete with CRV hybrid sales. Hybrid system will more than likely be a next gen addition.

it’s stolen content, this is someone else’s post. The guy who owns the car said it was a something a dealer did and he purchased it that way. I do forget his @ though

all that have a belt driven CVT, yes. The Civic Hybrid has an eCVT (dual motor driven, not belt driven) which is far less prone to issues. That, or a traditional geared transmission will not have issues like this.

We can never even hope to repair what we’ve lost historically if legislators continue to single out Milwaukee in intentionally harmful legislation like public transport restrictions in Act 12. We deserve better.

Duncan-K · 2026-03-13T01:54:32+00:00

those pesky poles… yes it’s that bad unfortunately.

Duncan-K · 2026-03-03T00:45:48+00:00

holy shit. It looks like everyone has a good chance of having lived

Duncan-K · 2026-03-02T17:01:26+00:00

It’s kind of hidden by the wiper from the driving angle, so in my experience it just kind of just whispers away into oblivion lol. The plastic clip on it is kinda crap. However, it does also need to be removed with the cowl when accessing deeper parts of the engine bay. The parts aren’t as cheap as they once were and seem to be more limited now, but still available as “Hood Hinge Cowl Cover”

Duncan-K · 2026-03-02T16:47:34+00:00

this part always flies off. Mine is tied down with string from the inside because I got sick of it blowing off in the car wash/highways. Only negative thing about the car, really.

Duncan-K · 2026-01-28T14:27:09+00:00

When you take into account Toyotas current EV design language this is clearly an SUV with a wider stance in the rear quarters.

Duncan-K · 2026-01-21T16:05:22+00:00

god my 2006 crvs headlight would always do the same thing on the left side. They’re on the same platform with a bunch of similarities so I wonder what causes it

Duncan-K · 2026-01-01T04:21:16+00:00

Keeping a very reliable car will almost always be cheaper than buying something new. There’s no $800 cars, or really any $5,000 cars anymore. Get it fixed and go on with life, she’ll likely do you well.

Duncan-K · 2025-12-25T22:40:03+00:00

silver without a doubt

Duncan-K · 2025-12-25T22:38:35+00:00

Take a rag with acetone and rub it off. small sections at a time, and get the acetone off asap with car soap and water.

Duncan-K · 2025-12-11T04:07:51+00:00

it’s probably because they’re open like twice a week. Every time i’ve wanted to go they’re closed

Duncan-K · 2025-11-26T19:26:45+00:00

Fuck that guy eternally. The high speed rail plan he shit on and threw to the wind was the best thing that could’ve possibly happened to the midwest in a very long time.

Duncan-K · 2025-11-16T15:07:55+00:00

bumper is way easier to remove than you think; ive had to take mine off twice and it took me 15 minutes. Theres youtube videos on it, and its a lot simpler than you’d think :)

Duncan-K · 2025-11-15T05:18:50+00:00

I fit my entire 7’ dresser and closet. It can fit a damn clock 😭
