CR-V What?

[Sandpebble]

Defined first as Chineese Rural Vehicle in the early fifties it was a one cylinder three wheeled replacement for the donkey. Then in 1997 Honda called their new vehicle the CR-V, a family friendly transport. Today it's called CRV. With the same thing in mind. But to be family friendly it has to be ecomonical, comfortable, and not too big not to small. What does it mean now, City-Rural-Vehicle? :confused:

I believe Honda refers to the CR-V as a Comfortable Runabout Vehicle.:)

The name is mentioned in Wikipedia:

"There are discrepancies as to what "CR-V" stands for, with Honda sources in different markets citing different meanings. Though Honda sales literature in UK reportedly makes references to "Compact Recreational Vehicle", other Honda references (including the official Honda Japan CR-V Fact Book [1] and Honda Worldwide [2]) cite "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle".
