Replying to: stevedebi (Jun 22, 2006 2:07 pm) Otherwise, it's pretty much the same thing we are getting. The reason why that pic looks so much better than the white CR-V is mostly optical illusion. The vehicle has a better disguise over the grill, making it look more like the Pilot. And the vehicle is back lit, which puts the nose in shadow. If you read what Miamicrv1 is writing, his description is exactly what we've seen before. "the bumper had these evenly spaced bulges throughout." These can be seen clearly - poking up from under the plastic in the photo below. (Note, they also appear on the panel below the doors.) "...the metal portion of the hood coming over the edge and surrounding the very prominent logo." Which can be seen under the plastic, as well. This forms the upper half of the infamous "double grill" so many people hate. Miami's comments about the roof line and other exterior features also match up with what we've seen before.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 23, 2006 10:16 am) Canada originally got an LE trim, which was more or less the same as our SE. They never had to wait for it. With the second generation, they got an EX-L model (EX with leather) which also included painted bumpers, IIRC. Here in the US, the CR-V will follow a model pattern similar to the Pilot. LX - Base model EX - Alloys, sunroof, stereo upgrade, etc. EX-L - Adds leather and painted bumpers EX-L NAV - Adds Navigation and maybe a few other technology-related features. Here are some of the rumored content changes... "The 2007 CR-V on the 3rd generation will have the following features which were not available on the 2nd generation: Telescopic Steering Wheel, Bi-Level Digital Readout Instrument Panel, Center Console with: Floor Shifter, Extra Large Storage Compartment and Cupholders, Variable Intermittent Windshield Wipers, Automatic Climate Control System on EX and EX-L and Daytime Running Lights!!! This info comes from a Dealership Pre-Order Fact Sheet!!! Enjoy!!! " - Bluewho

Replying to: varmint (Jun 23, 2006 10:32 am) Floor shifter means no more walk-through. Telescoping wheel is new, and rare in this class. NAV is new to this class, RAV4 doesn't have it yet, I'm not sure any economical compact SUV does. Mazda5 is the closest thing I can think of that offers NAV. Bi-level instruments - is that like the Civic's? Auto climate - uh-oh, HAL strikes again. The Subaru folks hate it. Maybe they'll design it better. -juice

Replying to: robr2 (Jun 26, 2006 9:14 am) Alas, again no pix. It certainly seems like Honda may be doing a ride & drive for journalists (or Honda dealers) in the Vancouver/Whistler area. Folks in those parts, keep your cameras handy!

Replying to: wheelz4 (Jun 28, 2006 9:55 am) That front it gonna take some getting used to. And I'm being nice.  The tails actually look good, but the rear window is really raked and gives up space, plus the window is very high so rear visibility might be worse than the old model, even though the spare moved out of the way. Why?  -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 28, 2006 10:08 am) I like the profile and rear views, but the nose is exactly what I was expecting. And it looks hideous. The nicest thing I can say is that the chrome strip almost takes your attention away from the whale shark's maw underneath it. Juice, I'm not so sure the rear window is higher. I think the roof line at the rear is lower, which makes it seem proportionally higher. But in reality it's about the same.
