Okay, so maybe the 2006 Honda CR-V fails to get gear heads frothed up or make musicians write songs about its power and style. If you’re a commuter, or need to ferry around a small family, or like utility, it will make you feel like singing. Dependable, roomy, efficient and easy to drive, the benefits of the CR-V will never go out of style. In fact, it will be soon going in style, thanks to a coming restyle for the 2007 model year that echoes the new 2006 Honda Civic in terms of design (and platform). From photos, it’s a quantum leap from the current CR-V – and that’s a bad thing for shoppers today. However, if you don’t mind the way the current CR-V looks – or don’t care – you should be able to get some excellent deals on the current model, starting now and for the rest of the year. Honda CR-V comes with your choice of two-wheel or four-wheel-drive, a five-speed automatic transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 156 horsepower. Combined with excellent fuel mileage, the CR-V is a solid buy.
