Took one of these for a spin the other day and what a smart little beast it
is. For a 2 litre it had all the power and torque of a much larger engine
but combined fuel economy of 8.4 is not too shabby. Huge16" alloys give it a
much smarter appeal than others in it's class.

Trust Honda, they not only lead the way in the environment with their Civic
Hybrid but now the ever increasing SUV market as well. Methinks a TRD is
just around the corner....watch this space.
Read and weap Honda bashers.
Coinciding with first anniversary of its Australian launch, the
third-generation Honda CR-V was the most popular SUV sold in Australia in
January, according to VFACTS figures.
A total of 1,575 Honda CR-V's were sold giving it a Compact SUV market share
of 19.2%%.
Overall SUV market share was 8.9%%.
Honda Australia Managing Director & CEO Mr. Yasuhide Mizuno was pleased with
the outstanding result.
"It's easy to see why the CR-V remains one of our most popular and
successful models, as it offers consumers the perfect blend of versatility,
reliability, affordability and comfort coupled with car like dynamics,
making it fun to drive and a perfect fit for today's hectic lifestyle and
everyday needs."
