Honda to introduce 2012 CR-V by year end

Honda top management has confirmed that the company is planning to introduce an entirely new CR-V by late 2011. Honda�s Executive Vice President confirmed the news. Speaking during an official event, he said �Next fall the CR-V is going to get a full model change, so we have high expectations from that.�

Honda has not been doing too well internationally, and the company has its expectations from the US light SUV and small truck market. The CR-V is Honda�s one of the most popular vehicles in the country. Although no details about the new vehicle have been revealed, it�s sufficiently evident that the new vehicle will be complete model change and not just a facelift. The 2012 CR-V in all probability will be bigger and more powerful than the current generation machine.

The current generation machine has remained altered for a long time. It seems Honda didn�t refresh the SUV much as the new generation vehicle was under development. If the 2012 CR-V gets launched in the international market by 2011-end, we can expect it to hit our shores by early 2012. We hope Honda brings a diesel option this time. Fingers crossed!
