TEST DRIVE | CR-V, which finished last year as Honda's top-selling truck, continues it winning ways; a disappointment, however, is lack of a V-6
The third-generation Honda CR-V continues as a refined, roomy, highly competent compact SUV, which really qualifies as a carlike crossover vehicle.
The CR-V was redesigned for 2007, getting such things as sharper styling and more power from its four-cylinder engine. The changes paid off because they helped the CR-V finish last year as Honda's top-selling truck, with sales of 219,160 units -- up considerably from 170,028 in 2006.
The CR-V wasn't given an available, powerful V-6 and third-row seat, as was the archrival Toyota RAV4 when it was redone for 2006.
