Crv type vehicles are for people who are afraid of being perceived as old, castrated, or want a false sense of the ability to safely get to work in the snow.
Of course the first one failed as these suvs are just the current generation station wagon and minivan.
They are car based and so are as weak as a sedan or minivan.
And even if they get started, they can't stop on ice.
They make a convenient station wagon, but modern minivans are superior to these "utes" in every way.

Have to agree with JHZ. It's because of the ideologies he's cited and the marketing clowns inculcating these ideologies in peoples' heads that the straight-up functional minivan segment is dying.
Side note: Why can't we have a modern diesel minivan? Utilitarian, efficient and driveable powertrain matched to practical utilitarian body style- what's not to love?

I bought a 2004 CR-V about a month ago. I needed a vehicle that would be good in the snow while hauling 2 kids around. I wasn't looking for any particular make/model, but I found this one for sale. The price was right, it's generally known to be reliable, and it has a manual transmission. If I have to get a dorky family car, at least I got one that's entertaining to drive. And this car is pretty fun to drive; the steering and handling are excellent.

Ha Ha! No, I call it my urban assault vehicle. With an Akra exhaust, people confuse the sound with a Harley. Well, plus its a 300cc, not many cars can keep up in traffic.

You are correct, it always was. Honda makes a lot of money with cars for their target audience.

I love my hundred eighty thousand mile 1998 CRV I got a steal of a deal on my pickup truck and sold the CR-V one because the cruise control quit working and two because it needs struts all the way around my friend still drives it 3 yars layer, I did a good service on it while I owned it 3 years 30000 miles he's put two wheel bearings 2 tie rod ends and 2 CV axles and a battery now at 210000 miles it needs tires but he's got less than a grand in the car since he purchased it from me

Nah, the K series is the best engine Honda ever designed. The 06-11 Civic Si was the best Civic built, at least on this side of the pond.

Just come out west (out of the rust belt) and buy a nice used one
If I raised my 84 Civic 4-door station wagon up a few inches could I claim it to be a sports utility vehicle and end the social stigma of actually driving a station wagon? I can drive down a local dirt road that gets my neighbor's 2016 Nissan Sentra high centered and stuck. I've even pulled him out with my Civic, once and I have only 76 horse power and a manual transmission.
I'll add my 2 cents on styling to add to several previous postings. I like the original, first CRV's looks the best. It's the same with the Pilot, too. And do you think the Odyssey now looks like a refugee from a Mercedes styling exercise that didn't work?

Can you post a photo of your classic Honda wagon ?
I agree, they took the Pilot and the SUV look and turned it into a van....
