The new look is growing on me, but I still wish they would offer a version with a V6. My CRV just dies in the mtns around here.

That little Honda SUV has a strange lookin' front-end and it has more bumps and grills than my girlfriend.

hmmm, the front looks better than I expected. Too bad it's 4 cylinder only, but yes, this one is going to sell big

It will sell fine, but to what demographic? It was designed to apeal to the younger market and all I see driving it are older people. Just like the Scion XB

old people dont flock to the xB, thats a myth and you know it. Scion has the youngest demo in the industry, you casual observations aside.

in europe there isn't any demand for a v6, and maybe not in japan either, so they think, "why bother?".
the look is growing on me.

Terrible looking.

The front end is overcomplicated and would surely benefit from some simplifying.

This thing make the first one look normall.. this thing is ugly, The grill is a nightmare to look at. whats up with having a normall grill and right below it having one thats wider and intrups the design? Looks like at the last minute they decided they needed more air flow and just cut into the bumper to get it. And why is it a trend to have rounded quarter windows. It would look better if it had a squared off window. Just my thoughts.
