Really? It looks like mostly a style change and the elimination of the manual option. What is the "major" advance of the HCH2? The gen 1 CVT gets 45.8 while the gen 2 gets 46.6 according to our database. The gen 1 MT gets 48.3. I'm not seeing the "major" improvement. Of course the gen 2 is really cute and it does have a bit more power but they won't sell me one till they offer it in a manual.
