Apparently Honda was so impressed with the results of their 2014 revision of the CRV that they felt a 2015 revision was needed...
One year's worth of specific parts availability, etc. I can hear it now: "Oh, you wanted the (fill in the blanks) for the 2014 CRV... Sorry, but those are no longer available."
Ha, ha! (as in The Simpsons)
p.s. My 2014 Outback's CVT doesn't make the "fake" shifts that Motor Trend refers to. I also found it interesting that there were three versions (including prices and spec's) for the X5 BMW but they only show data for the 3.6l version of the Outback, saying they preferred the 2.5l version. Pretty much a popularity contest, IMHO.
