1) V-Tec V6 (at least 2.7, but prefer 3.0 li) or turbo 4l (keep the RDX turbo 4 in it, but up the boost on it & give it a stronger WGA to 'keep it seperate' from the CR-V)
2) 6 speed auto with paddle shifters (or at least manual shift mode)
3) make the window/lock button lights the same color as the dash lights (& brighter)
4) more aggressive front airdam
5) offer factory developed aftermarket performance parts for it
6) bump up the warranty to match Hyndai's
7) more 'modern' colors (bright blue, orange, bright red, etc)
8) tad more feedback with brakes & steering (or make a performance package & roll up all those issues in one) &
9) black surrounds for front & rear lights
10) coin holder
11) garage door opener on visor &
12) cloth visors
Any one else feel free to add to this

I would add:
1) HID Headlamps
2) Bluetooth handsfree phone system
3) Bigger sunroof
all of which are available options on the European CR-V.

Bluetooth (while not for me) would probably be a wlecomed addittion, as would HIDs, but the HIDs are on the RDX, so doubt they would even be considered for the CRV.
A larger sunroof would be...interesting....
Do you mean wider or longer?

I thought a longer sunroof would be a nice thing to have to provide more natural light to passengers in the back seats. I just find it a little on the small side as it is right now.
As stated in other posts on this site, it would also have been nice If Honda put in some lights in on the vanity mirrors on the sunshades.

Yeah longer/bigger sunroofs seem to be the "thing" these days (mini, maxima, edge...)
And I agree with the visor thing. I would also like them to be cloth & not plastic, but oh well....

I'd opt for a higher capacity fuel tank---15.3 gallons doesn't do it for me even with 25 mpg hwy/21 mpg city AWD and Manual Trans. I'm more accustomed to the 450-525 mile operating range I have on my 94 Accord.

Manual Shift mode
HID's
Bigger Sunroof
More Masculine Exterior
Thermostat type climate control
AND most importantly aside from Manual mode SOUND INSULATION

some of these features are offered on EDM/JDM CR-V's.
The reason they're not offered USDM... cost. A CR-V in the UK is a $54,000 vehicle, not a $27,000 vehicle.

Manual Shift mode - standard in Europe (no forseeable implementation in the US
HID's - available in Europe as an extra (most likely not being brought to the US)
Bigger Sunroof - standard in Europe (doesn't open though) (sucks about not opening)
More Masculine Exterior - dealer fit extras available (Minimal exterior accessories available, side steps, spoiler, door trim in the US, or Mugen parts if you can find them)
Thermostat type climate control - standard in Europe (doesn't open though) (US available auto climate control in 2008 EX-L)[/QUOTE]

Why cant honda make the best car it can make, I hate when automakers builda car to fit in a price section they intentionally take things out. well here is som litte things I would like.
1. More foam in the sunglass case, put foam or soft rubber in the cd case also line the wet storage area top with rubber so the table dosen't rattle.
Keep in mind I have an 04 so there may be differnet changes on the newer ones.
