We know now that the Passport that was targeting the mid 30’s males but , the 30 year olds with 30+ years Experience “AKA seniors” are buying a BIG chunk of the Passport inventories, WHY?
Let’s see what everyone thinks, OKAY I will start..
I owned muscle cars in the last 50 years, but now I no longer drive in the fast lane, and I don’t like that mid life persona. I didn’t want something young looking “ crazy tail lights, goofy looking windows, cars that would fit in a Jetson cartoon”
Don’t like big power from little engines, Turbocharged/supercharged, in my muscle car days it was “no replacement for displacement” So, no F/I for this cat!
I was having issues with my 2017 CR-V and the heat SUCKS with Minnesota winters. I owned a 2016 Pilot Elite, “ 7 passengers for 2 people” opps, got good money for it in 2017. I own a 2017 HR-V ex-l, it is a AWESOME crossover, its my Wife’s favorite car “happy wife, happy life”.
My wife “Patty” said that I shouldn’t put up with a car that is plagued with issues plus having very little heat as my retirement car. So while having my CR-V serviced for my issue I made a point of seeing a new Passport. My first impression of the 2019 Honda passport was “holy crap, it looks just like an old-school SUV“. I seen myself getting older and running over curbs, hitting trash cans , and driving down the street with my blinker on and the gas door open. A big V6 that will create lots of heat, a transmission with gears that will tower 5000 pounds, and all wheel drive that will get me through Minnesota winters, awesome sound system that will play 60s music. On top of all this good stuff it is black on black and it will keep me out of my wife’s hair and into the garage for many entertaining hours during my retirement
