If it's as you say, a traffic rerouting capability, then the HAH already has it! Press the "Menu" button. Then touch "Detour."

If you mean real-time traffic information, Acura already does that. It should be long before this option is available in the Honda line

AcuraLink™ data is delivered to the RL's navigation system* via XM NavTraffic, powered by XM® radio satellites, and employs a color-coding scheme to indicate flow rates, accidents, construction and pertinent weather issues. It'll even read the details aloud using the system's text-to-voice technology. This real-time traffic service is currently available in 31 major metropolitan areas.

Yes, I agree. This would be a nice addition to the HAH Navi.
