    Thanks to VW and other diesels, there is a sea change in the EU and UK markets. Selling there makes a lot more sense than trying the USA that lately favors pickups and SUVs.

    The issue facing Honda and others bringing hybrids to the US is the low gas prices. People want to new CR-V, but why ship production of the hybrid to a market where sales will be low. I remember an announcement that Honda was going to make an ICE model of the CRZ for the US.
