They updated the CR-V.

Still a weird looking crossover with a 185 horsepower N/A I4 mated to a CVT.

In other words, dear god so much beige.

Motor Trend makes it sound like it isn't terrible though, so that's good.

I can't even say what I'd rather have instead, because the crossover segment is a snooze-fest right now. Maybe a Journey?

I really find this whole stretched light thing ugly. Why do they need to touch the roof?

Unless it's on the Escalade because it's so obnoxious and matches the SUV's personality.

Actually my point is that the XC60 is better; but you bring up a good point and question.

It goes without saying the XC60 is better.

Needs moar power.

Actually, that's probably what I'd get. And I'd probably get a 6 if we were talking about sedans.

We have a CX-5 GT with the 2.5, and it's not as anemic as you'd assume. We've had it for over a year and it's been great. And my parents have a Grand Touring Mazda6, and it's phenomenal as well. The looks are way above it's price point. And where I'm at, you can lease a Mazda6 sport for $259/mo.

On a side note, we did look at the CR-V (for about 5 minutes) before we bought the CX-5 and it is god awful boring. The Rav4 is a little better, but not much.

so you can still see the tail lights, even if you're driving with the tail gate open

I would personally take a CR-V over a Rav-4 if those were the only cars I could choose from. I find the Rav-4 styling just hideous. Not saying the CR-V is that much better but the lesser of the two evils
