Editors' Most Wanted Vehicles for 2007
Winner: 2007 Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V has been a favorite small SUV ever since it was introduced years ago. But now this overachiever gets an extreme makeover. And that doesn't mean super-sizing it and stuffing a V6 under the hood. Honda still feels a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine is the best choice, but boosted the power to 166 horses and 161 pound-feet of torque. With fewer buyers opting for a manual gearbox, Honda dropped that option and went with a tweaked five-speed automatic. There is still a choice of all-wheel or front-wheel drive. With such an attractive combination of personality and good looks, it's easy to see why the CR-V is our pick.
