the crv too me is under powered and bad on gas for what size motor it has, love the body shape ect, but the rav4 has more pep and as good or not better on gas mileage, love the new pilot, the 06 crv is nothig like the 07 and newer body, same when the pilot changed, completely different car, acura = honda with a fe more bells and whistles and price tag, bren gave u a insider at honda if you go the toyota approach lmk before you go i will call the GM and set you up with a good salesman over there, same with about any other manufacture, personally id look at the subaru's if your looking for 4 whel drive
