Where did Honda go wrong?> They had the best respected model range in Europe, the best engines, best reliabilty and without doubt the best residuals. then the diesel revolution started. Honda joined the bandwagon, eventually, with the large capacity 2.2 diesel, but they were woefully out done on Co2 emissions. To compound their problem their UK advertising and marketing was etheriel in the extreme (for that read WEIRD! Remember the guy with the American accent, the Swindon ad compaign all followed by the ''cough cough clean diesel advert, no? nor does anyone else, except me perhaps as I worked there. So good luck to whoever picks up from this Nick fellow, because he will have a long, hard journey.
