A nice option for someone looking at a CRV but who wants something more upscale with an American nameplate.

Dorky X's 2 ... Especially from the rear. Just another copy of whats already out their in Quantity except .. Late to the party.

Std 18" wheels/tires .... Uhg.

When will they quit screwing up the ride quailty.

Drive a New 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and see how they ruined that ride.

Looks like their after the Honda CRV, but CRV just updated theirs for 2012

Also looks a lot like the Hyundai Tucson

Got a buddy with a 2011 CRV. I've driven it and it's not for me.....

Besides, the Honda dealer here is borderline criminal on their pricing.

Our Sunday newspaper car section did a piece on this car.

Liked the static appearance/styling, comfort.

Disliked the noisy engine, center instrument panel VERY hard to use.

IIRC, combined mileage was almost the exact same as GM states.


Personally, I think GM is creating better vehicles, BUT they are returning to the old GM philosophy......Flood all segments of the vehicle market with a product (volume).....INSTEAD OF EMPHASIZING QUALITY AND LONGEVITY OF AN EXISTING PRODUCT. JMO (again)

reminds me of the suzuki sx4. only a bit higher off the ground

But not likely anywhere in the US, regardless.
