[SIZE=4]The 2007 HONDA CR-V.[/SIZE] target: TOYOTA RAV4
The 2007 Honda CRV has a new design. Front has a new design with Projector Type Healight with HID. At the back spare wheels has disappeared from the back doorand the side windows have been tampered, in effort to make the CRV seems more like Coupe:
The 07 CRV will price P1.7M
THIS IS THE PICTURE:

eeewww. ang pangit nung harap... the headlights are okay but that butas for the radiator looks ridiculous...


the rear looks interesting from here though.. very x3-esque...

1.7 is too expensive..

i'd settle for a rav4...

The 07 CRV has a look of BMW X3. The price will start at 1.7M. CRV will release on the first quarter of 2007.

X3???

Ang layo! :rofl:

Alterra for the C-Pillar & and a Baleen Whale for the front grille! :rofl:

I dont know where you got the price for 1.7M but I believe that is way too much for this kind of vehicle. In the US, the '07 CRV is going for somewhere around USD$21K to 26K. For comparisons sake, the '06 Rav4 is going for USD$21,455 to 27,025. I believe the '07 CRV coming here will not digress very far from the Rav4's price point, as they are close competitors.

As for the looks, to me it does have some proportion issues upfront, while the backside needs more articulation. Its side profile resembles that of a BMW with the exception with the very angular rear quarter window coupled with the Alterra-like chunky pillar. And what's with the overkill skid-plate imprint all over?

Ps: Whatever happens, people will still be buying this one in droves, afterall there are still lots of Gen2 CRV on the road. If they havent yet upgraded to a Fortuner, Rav4 , Sta Fe, etc....this might be it only bec. it is the newest and latest. Nothing beats having the first in the neighborhood.

Obviously a CR-V fan...

Don't we have a thread for this, already?

RE: Looks?

Hmmm... comparing it to an X3 isn't far-fetched. I hate the looks of the X3, too. ...the X3 is a very unsuccessful attempt to adapt the styling of the X5 to a smaller car, and looks awkward from many angles. But this CRV looks better proportioned than the X3.

I've commented previously on other boards that I think the overall shape, with the exception of those ill-advised rear windows (they lead to poor rear-three-quarters visibility, and create too much bulk in the rear roof), is pretty good.

But that pig-snout in front is a horrible design compromise... possibly the only nose more awkward than that in a modern automobile is the one on the Subaru Tribeca.

Personally, they should've removed the vestigial "Generation I" grille to smooth it out. Without that small grille, it could pass as post-modern design, much like the new Civic. With that grille insert, it looks like the design team couldn't decide what to do with the front, and, in the end, decided to do everything at once.

RE: Price... if it's a CBU, 1.7m for the top-of-the-line is possible. $24 - 25k comes out to about that much.

At that price, though, it's not going to sell many, but if there's a 1.2m "entry-level" model, it should sell decently.

CRV models are almost successfull since its first generation model. The most I like the design is Second Generation CRV. The 2nd generation of CRV is almost successfull. CRV is Filipino car.

Having seen several already I can say that the front isn't that bad. However, that rear hatch looks like it was hit by someone and now has a dent. From pictures it doesn't look so bad but in person it looks like the hatch has a dent, I see one at work everyday and I keep thinking that someone backed in to the hatch of that CRV.

I better choose Nissan Murano..mas okey pagdating sa specs

[RevoGuy]

Don't be concerned with the price. it's gonna be almost the same with the 2nd gen. i have here in Qatar the 2006 model 4wd RVSi priced at 90K rials. honda introduced the 2007 version last november and the basic 2.4L 4wd automatic with bare feature is priced at 86K rials (1.1M pesos). kaya ung 2 liter 2WD will come to around a little less than 1M pesos. ung 1.7M is the top of the line price, complete with everything like sunroof, crusie control, all around air bags, abs, adoptive headlights (new feature from honda), etc.

[deedee]

i was never a big fan of SUV with those looks but i actually like the looks of the 07 CRV.for the exterior...id pick the CRV over the lexus,X3,CX7 and even the murano.i test drove the murano before and didnt liked the interior at all.

[tambutsoo]

My god * 1.7million too expensive.maybe i'll go for Toyota fortuner 4X4

[ssaloon]

kapresyo na niya yung bagong RAV4.

sana binuo nalang nila yung front bumper instead of that horrible grille.

[mbt]

Relax, if the CR-V goes as high as 1.7 M, it will be for the top-end 10-liter six-wheel drive version. My take is that as a key seller for Honda Philippines, they will have a cheaper version available in the 1.3 to 1.4 M range. Toyota has the Fortuner so the RAV4 can afford to go upmarket... the RAV4 probably needs to anyway for the sake of product differentiation and positioning. But Honda doesn't have any other SUV so it will shoot itself in the foot if it prices too high.

[tambutsoo]

if ever 1.7 million 2007 CRV maybe i'll buy this new MAZDA CX7

[Walter]

The price is just an assumption.

Hahaha! I love the way you put it.

For reference, here are the current prices of current models:

2WD
CRV 2-liter (5 pass.) - 999,000 (5MT), 1,050,000 (4AT)
CRV 2-liter (8 pass.) - 1,083,000 (5MT), 1,134,000 (4AT)
RAV4 2.4-liter - 1,425,000 (4AT)

4WD
CRV 2.4-liter (5 pass.) - 1,267,000 (5MT), 1,318,000 (4AT)
RAV4 2.4-liter - 1,785,000 (4AT)

Prices of the upcoming CRV shouldn't be far from current levels. HCPI will commit seppuku (suicide) if it decides to price the CRV like a RAV4.
