In addition to booming, the sport-utility market is also evolving, and thenew Honda CR-V is yet another proof.
Like a number of current sport-utility vehicles, this appealing little
four-door wagon wasn't designed to tackle tough terrain. That's because
most sport-utilities rarely leave the pavement, let alone venture into
tough terrain. For most of us, a little extra ground clearance and four-wheel
traction are enough to satisfy our SUV needs--a trek to a summer cabin,
battling winter slush and/or running family errands.
That's what the CR-V is all about--lots of utility, all-wheel drive
traction, car-like driveability. Do you hear minivan attributes here? Yes,
you do. The CR-V combines SUV style and image with minivan usefulness.
And it does so very effectively. Next Page
