Literally going to see these everywhere

Just called one of my local Honda dealers to see when they would get this.

The sales guy told me that market conditions are tight and that these are now going for $8, 000 over MSRP. I laughed out loud and kept laughing. Well, they can keep it, cause I’m definitely not paying that.

And with what looks like a recession coming, a lot of people will have a similar view.

Honda jacked the price up 4 G for the base trim, this is not good.

[ForgotToMentionThat]

The front and the back don’t appear to have been designed by the same team.

[Heffelz]

I wish they would up the power by 20-30hp and tq by another 40. Those are some rookie numbers. Gotta pump them up, Honda.

[stachowi]

When will these be available? Seems like Honda has NOTHING on the lot these days.

[MeridianWest]

Looks like it's been styled to suggest more of a kinship to its larger siblings, the Passport and the Pilot.

[bradwilliams]

I wish that I could afford to buy my mom one.

[denault]

Looks more masculine...less chickie than the previous version.
I'll tell my brother to take a look since he's in the market for a hybrid by the end of the year.

Beyond the styling which seems to combine Nissan and Mazda, Honda will have to emphasize its strengths vs weaknesses. It will still continue to sell, but the Rav4 is still competitive.

[cgreenfield]

Good lord those taillights are a literal ripoff of the current Volvo xc60

[MegaNinjaMonkeyZord]

Looks like AI design, hodge-podge of bunch of other SUVs, which is weird Honda had really good design language until now, but suddenly the decided to make their cars dull and unoriginal

[Tuppoo]

I don't know why anyone would call this car "compact". Maybe if it's standing next to an Escalade ESV, but that thing requires an aircraft carrier helmsman's license anyway.

Hermosa 👌
Le mejor en su segmento CRV y la Híbrida más hermosa.

[aries]

Playing off the Toyota RAV-4 Styling. They look too much alike now.

Dear Honda:

More electric vehicles, please.

I just can't bear to buy a Tesla, knowing that I'd be supporting the weird and terrible politics of Elon Musk.

Thanks for the great cars.

Love,
Gus

They could've easily snuck in a 3rd row. And yes, I know the Pilot has a 3rd row. Except I don't want to pay Pilot price.

[SantanKGhey]

oh how Honda has become more boring and less apealing than Hyundai... sad whats happend to Honda

[charmingmander]

I have a 2016 CRV and my only real complaint is that it’s clearly not made for a 5’10 male. Not super comfortable.
