2007 Honda CR-V - Previews
Cool moms don’t go for extreme makeovers.
For 2007, CR-V project leader Mitsuru Horikoshi is after the “cool moms,” which in Japanese sounds like “kakko-eee mama-san.” Apparently, the cool moms like windshields that lie back, a body with a few curves, an Acura-like interior of metrosexual black plastic and burnished metal, and side glass that does the most suggestive rearward taper since the ’49 Buick. The new CR-V strives to look more street chic in every way except for the warts growing out of the lower rockers, a styling cliché suggesting skid plates that are so not there.
