With Honda's Ayuttaya Plant submerged, I'll say by the 3rd quarter of 2012.

November 18th, 2011 01:12 AM #23Here's an early write up for 2012 CRV
TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 16, 2011 – All new for 2012, the fourth-generation Honda CR-V introduces an upscale styling direction, greater fuel efficiency, and added features and functionality, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
With the previous-generation CR-V recognized as a “Top Recommended Vehicle” and having the “Best Retained Value SUV under $25,000” by Edmunds.com, and named top compact crossover SUV in dependability by J.D. Power and Associates, the all-new 2012 model introduces the latest evolution of Honda’s successful CR-V formula. Compact on the outside and roomy inside, the CR-V represents an ideal balance for size and capability in the entry SUV segment. The all-new five-passenger CR-V offers improved car-like interior comfort, a smoother and quieter ride, and even more innovative features than the previous model.
Powerful and Efficient 4-Cylinder Engine
Leading the changes are a more efficient engine design with improved horsepower and torque, along with an all-new Real Time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Control System™. All CR-Vs are powered by a 2.4-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 163 lb-ft. of torque paired with a standard 5-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy1 is rated at 23/31/26 mpg city/highway/combined (FWD) (an increase of +2/+3/+2 mpg compared to the 2011 CR-V), and a compact SUV-class leading 22/30/25 mpg city/highway/combined (AWD) (an increase of +1/+3/+2 mpg compared to the 2011 CR-V). Eco Assist, a new feature on the CR-V for 2012, indicates to the driver when the vehicle is being operated in an efficient style via “green” visual cues surrounding the speedometer, and a selectable ECON Mode alters operating characteristics of the vehicle to support an efficient driving style.
New Standard Features
New for 2012 standard features include an Easy Fold-Down 60/40 Split Rear Seat and a range of standard technology features. New high-tech features on all models include a Bluetooth®2 HandsFreeLink® phone interface (previously an available feature), a full-color intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) and a multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines. As a first for Honda, every 2012 CR-V includes an SMS text messaging function, which can read received texts from compatible cell phones aloud over the audio system. Another first is the introduction of a Pandora® Internet Radio interface3, compatible with the Apple® iPhone®, which works with the vehicle’s audio controls and i-MID.
Model Range
The CR-V lineup starts with the CR-V LX model, now with more standard equipment for 2012. The CR-V LX is equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, i-MID, remote entry, a 160-watt, a 4-speaker audio system, Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS). The CR-V EX adds an upgraded six-speaker audio system, power moonroof, 17-inch alloy wheels and more. The CR-V EX-L builds on the rich features of the CR-V EX and adds a leather-trimmed interior, 10-way power driver’s seat, automatic dual-zone climate control, 360-watt 7-speaker audio system with XM®4 Radio and much more. Available features for the CR-V EX-L include the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System5 with Voice Recognition™ and FM Traffic, or a DVD Rear Entertainment System (not available with Navigation). Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ is an available feature on each model.
Design
The 2012 CR-V body adopts a more dynamic and sophisticated appearance compared to the previous generation. The CR V’s spacious interior layout is more accommodating with a roomy new center console (now standard) and an overall lower cargo floor height for easy loading and unloading. The new Easy Fold-Down 60/40 Split Rear Seat makes accessing the full capability of the cargo area much more convenient than traditional folding seats. Each side of the rear seat can fold nearly flat into the front of the cargo area using one of the release levers located near the tailgate, or a pull-strap positioned on the seat side.
Safety
Every CR-V incorporates as standard equipment VSA, an electronic stability control system; an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist; side-curtain airbags; front-side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); and a front seat design that can help reduce the severity of neck injury in the event of a rear collision. An Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure in the front of the vehicle helps make the vehicle highly effective at absorbing and dispersing the energy of a frontal crash.

Mas ok yung lower part ng front bumper ng CR-V JDM
Naka projector HLs din ang JDM
Possible na ganyang looks ang makuha natin. Not the USDM looks. Also bigger side mirrors.

These kind of vehicles (CUV, AUV, mid-SUV, etc) are not suited to accommodate a third row seating (hence 7-8 pass.) unless the passengers in those rows are always midgets, midget-sized, or small kids (its more appropriate to them in car seats/or booster seats at the second row) all the time.
Big American SUVs like Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition are more suitable for carrying more than two rows of -*adult-* passengers.

November 21st, 2011 11:59 AM #28[size=4]Honda floods all-new 2012 CR-V for LA[/size]
Despite supply issues that concern Honda's submerged manufacturing plant in Thailand, the Japanese manufacturer pressed on to unveil the all-new 2012 CR-V at the LA Auto Show. The four-generation crossover might bear some uncanny resemblance to the model it replaces, but Honda promises more toys under its sheet metal.
As previewed in the concept last July, the CR-V now houses a new three-tier chrome grill and pointier headlamps. The fog lamps’ chrome accent and striking lower front garnish, however, never made it into production (most likely due to cost concerns). On its backside, the hatch is no longer as bulbous as before, while the vertical tail lights get a three-dimensional treatment. And it's no surprise that the large chrome rims from the concept has been downsized to what look to be 16-inchers.
