In terms of its RAV4 competition, the new CR-V doesnt have the big bad v6 or third row midget seat option.
But from my experience (family has 05 CR-V SE), and from what I read from hondasuv.com; those two factors (v6 power and a third row), arent things that the average CR-V buyer are heavily interested in. Anyways, thats what the Honda Pilot is made for.
The main controversey seems to come from the unusual front grill. It is different, but I dont react so negatively towards it as others.

And nope, not excited by it at all. It's still bland, still underpowered, and it has some horrible design executions with the rear window and the front grille/bumper treatment.. all in all, ho hum zzZZzzzz.
