Honda HR-V do they know something I don't know?

What is the issue? Here is your clicky

Obviously!

I'm definitely missing something. :h

I hope the OP comes back and explains, or asks a question.

Put a transmission pump on it.

The 2015 & 16 Honda HR-V's are available with a 6-speed manual transmission. The CVT models are not towable.

That won't work in this case. There are two transmissions in the HR-V: A CVT auto and a manual.

Maybe Blue Ox has customers who want to tow the manual version. Although, Honda says not to.

If it can't be a toad, then blue ox won't be selling many of these.

sorry should have more clear Honda says..
from the owner's manual:

"Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can
damage the transmission."

No difference is stated between CVT models and manual transmission models.

BUT in the URL I cited they are building a tow bar for all four down tow which appears to be unacceptable to Honda.

Might be interesting to call or email Blue Ox and get their thoughts on the offering.

It looks like to me that Honda is saying if you break down it is best to get a roll back flat bed to haul it, because there is no good place for a wrecker to hook on. I didn't read where it can't be flat towed! Look at FMCA web site to see if it is tow-able!
