I have always had a shifter also. It gives me a place to put my right hand besides the armrest which is also missing as Honda decided to go with the smallish seat attached things that break off in time.
And where is the 360 degree camera system?

Do we know for sure that it doesn't have this? I wouldn't mind having one.

I have been told by Honda that this feature is NOT AVAILABLE. I don't know if an aftermarket system is available. Too bad, seems like an easy add on for Honda.

I believe that's just part of the multi-angle rear view camera. They have a mode that looks straight down towards the bumper / trailer hitch but it's still only showing the rear of the vehicle, not 360.

You are right. The Birdseye view pertains only to the multi view rear camera only. Honda chose not to include this important feature for their new model. A deal breaker for those of us who already use this system everyday. That’s too bad. I really wanted that blue Elite model.

Unless I can find a good after market 360 camera system, this is a deal breaker for me.

I wouldn't give up hope just yet. It might be another good reason to sit out on the initial model year. So far the Honda Sensing suite of features suggest they're up to other safety/practical related features.

Probably so but Honda has the parts and software now. Geez just make it available now.

I'm done trying to figure our Honda's logic but I do know that they just want to sell as many models as they can and do it quickly. The 360 camera doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do from the factory, 2 mirror cameras, 1 grill camera, tie it all in with existing camera in the rear, then connect them to the entertainment screen via a processor.

I hope whom ever is making content decisions is paying attention to this.
