Did someone forget to stop feeding the CR-V sweets?

Well, there's another SUV looking crossover that's gone full-on blob.

I mean, it's not terrible looking, but the old one with its more brutish looks was a lot nicer IMO. And the greenhouse on the new one looks very similar to the Traverse.

Solid "meh" from me.

Wheels are too small, it looks a bit cartoonish even.

Looks like the old Pilot (which looked rugged and cool) had sex with a Odyssey

Pretty soon the SUVs and the people they're built to encase:

And the Odyssey had the dominate traits.

Blech. This has the most bland styling. It's just a rounded box with wheels.

Honda needs to put it on a diet like I have my cat on.

Except not really, because the whole reason crossovers exist is so people can get minivan practicality while avoiding driving a minivan, because they are insecure twats who think driving a minivan says something about them as a person. Kind of like Chevy's target audience for their Colorado commercials .

So the carmakers, responding to customer feedback saying "hey this crossover is great but what I really want is more room inside," make crossovers ever more like minivans. But since they're not technically minivans, all the people who are too ashamed of themselves to drive a minivan buy the increasingly minivan-like crossovers.

Witness the bloating.

Toyota did it with the Highlander by taking a mid-sized, blocky crossover and making it into a more bloated but still somewhat blocky crossover, and now more of a minivan.

Nissan took the unibody-but-still-trucky Pathfinder, moved it to a body-on-frame truck platform, then turned it into a minivan-looking crossover.
