Just last week we reported on Honda's upcoming Accord-based Crossover and now thanks to VWVortex member GoVdubSPEEDGo, we have these amateur spy photos of the vehicle taken in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

We've been waiting for Honda to come up with an Accord-based crossover since the moment Toyota pulled the wraps off its Camry-based Venza concept at the North American International Auto Show last year.

11/21/2006 - TORRANCE, Calif. - The all-new 2007 Honda CR-V, along with the 2007 Honda Pilot, were among seven SUVs to earn 2007 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK Awards.

In the beginning, there were the incredible days of cheap gas and even cheaper insurance. Boy, those were the days weren’t they? The fuel crisis of the late 70’s flipped our world upside down. Gas guzzlers were heading for the crusher in record numbers, and the newly emerging import market was on the horizon. In the early days, Hondas were roaming the streets in limited numbers with even more limits in style. The first Hondas widely sold in the US were quirky and strange, but they got nearly 50 mpg giving them a slight edge in the US market. Thus, the economical import car market was born, and Honda would be forever known as the weird little car that saved you some cash at the pump and lasts forever.

The Honda CR-V, one of the best-selling sport utility vehicles for 2007, provides spacious five-passenger seating in a versatile crossover SUV package with sedan-like handling. Engineered to be a safety leader, the CR-V achieves the highest five-star crash safety rating by the federal government for both frontal and side impacts and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates the CR-V as a "Top Safety Pick - 2007." The CR-V is one of only two small SUVs to achieve both the highest federal crash safety rating for frontal and side impacts and the top IIHS safety rating.
