Default 2012 Honda CR-V Concept

Heck yeah!



LIGHTER than previous version (it was already the lightest in its class)
LARGER inside
HIGHER fuel efficiency

This thing is going to continue to dominate the segment. It would be nice if Honda would offer at least 18" wheels on this thing, since virtually everyone else is doing the same thing. The Crosstour grill looks pretty good on the CR-V as well. There is speculation that it will include a third row but I'm betting against it.

Looks fine. Good engineering. I'm sure it will sell well.

Still, it's a crossover. What's there to get excited about? On the excitement meter a new or updated crossover falls into the same general area where Tide would if it was introducing a new detergent.

The new Hyundai detergents will wipe Tide detergents off the face of the earth.

It definitely looks better imo, but it also looks a little melted? Kind of chunky like the new VW Beetle...

I see the "melted" thing a bit, but it's still a big improvement over the current pleasant but bland styling. Do you have an idea of when this will come out and whether it's close-to-production styling?

RES option in the new CRV will be nice, 3rd row seems far fetch in a CRV but it wouldn.t surprise me.

Smoked headlights? Questionable and unlikely to make it into production. The rest looks good though.

Should be on sale in November, I think I read somewhere. No V6, possible use of the new 6AT and as someone else mentioned, a RES (rear entertainment system) trim available as well.
