These spy shots from WorldCarFans,of course, give us the best idea yet of what the next Honda CR-V will look like when it launches in 2007. Sister ute to the Acura RDX, the next CR-V will not get the new Acura’s turbocharged engine, but rather a more meager naturally aspirated 2.4L four-cylinder rated at 170 hp. That also means the CR-V won’t be hunting any Toyota RAV-4s with their (much) larger V6 engines and third row of seats. There are some good news: this new Honda ditches the outside mounted spare and thus gets a vertical lift gate instead the traditional horizontal one. [source:www.autoblog.com]
