2012 Honda CR-V Photos Leaked
Honda has already teased us with a concept version of its new 2012 CR-V crossover, but now several images have hit the net of what appears to be the production model. Shots of the partially uncovered exterior don’t real much, although several interior images do give a much clearer idea of what to expect when the net generation CR-V goes on sale.
Noticeably absent in these photos is Honda’s new i-MID telematics system, which debuted on the new 2012 Civic. This is, however, a Chinese-market model and we expect the i-MID setup (or something similar) to be offered here.
While the CR-V is expected to grow in size, like the Civic, huge changes for the powertrain aren’t likely, although do expect a bump of a few miles per gallon in fuel economy. Honda has yet to announce any details of the 2012 CR-V’s release date, but look for an LA Auto Show debut.

Totally agree with comments regarding lack of information, details, photos. Due to my 1994 Camry being totaled in an accident, my wife and I need a car NOW! We want a CR-V but don't like the rear window configuration/lack of visibility on the 2011 and prior. We have a 2003 Highlander we are keeping and may have to go back to Toyota for our second car. Honda, please help your frustrated, potential customers!
Wow ... I like its design
