This year’s LA Auto Show was packed with exciting new debuts and coming attractions. After a summer of rumors and anticipation we finally got to see the all-new 2012 CR-V in its production clothes. Much had been speculated about a potential 3rd row however it is not to be, but that is a good thing! Not trying to squeeze passengers into an uncomfortable and really not usable 3rd seat made it possible to offer the most cargo room in class, 70.9 cu ft! Rear passengers also get doors that open to a full 81 degrees for much easier entry along with a host of other cool new stuff such as; BlueTooth technology standard, increased horsepower (185), Advanced ‘Multi Information Display Screen, new multi angle rear back up camera (available) and Pandora Internet Radio Interface for iPhone users just to list a few. Our man Chuck snapped some great shots of the CR-V from the floor and our own Mike theHondaGuy was able to sneak a quick walk a round video while one of the Honda Corporate folks was here at the dealership holding a seminar! The first 2012 CR-V’s will arrive toward the end of December; stay tuned here for the latest.
