CR-V for 08

The new CR-V easily beats the Tucson and Sportage. But what Honda
should do for 2008 is to add a third row and a V6 with 200 something
hp. RAV4 gets V6 and third row, why not the CR-V? Even with a possible
30K sticker, it will blow the others in the weeds.
Honda also should put back the picnic table in the second gen. Some
people dislike the "smile grill" in the front. But these changes
probably won't happen until a facelift (maybe in '09 or '10) Myself
being a Honda fan, I am disappointed not to see many of these cars on
the streets. Hopefully there will be more when the "facelift" happens.

 

I don't know where you are, but here in Central Calif, we have lots of new
CR-V's roaming the streets. They sell like hotcakes here! FWIW, I also
see lots of new RAV 4's as well and even a few of Acura's version, the RDX,
which is what your post was actually directed at, powertrain wise.
