So my day started out as a typical rainy Friday at the beginning of the month with me just trying to get things organized for the weekend. I then received a phone call from a customer of mine who said he was going to stop in and take a look at the 2010 CR-V. He had previously owned an accord and decided he wanted to sit up higher and have the advantages of AWD. The good news for this customer is that Honda decided to revise the new CR-V!
The CR-V now comes standard with a 180hp i-vtec engine. That's an increase of 16hp!! They also made it more fuel efficient at the same time! I told this to the customer and of course they were excited that they were going to be able to enjoy the perks of the new SUV. We went on the highway during the test drive and found ourselves talking about college and the recent Penn State football game, as we were both fans, me being an alumni :). In the middle of our conversation the customer just blurted out "Man this thing rides nice!". It was the truth. While we were coasting down the highway we had semi-trucks passing us up, it was raining, and there was traffic but it never was intrusive to our conversation or comfort at all! The leather surrounding the cabin in our EX-L model was of the highest grade and extremely soft to the touch. The changes in the CR-V are definitely nothing major but they are enough to make a vehicle that was class leading become even better.
Before we even got out of the car the customer said he was sold on the vehicle and wanted to get the paperwork drawn up. This was one of those situations where the customer just completely fell in love and didn't even really need me to mediate the deal. I can only give the credit to the 2010 Honda CR-V for making just enough changes to be just right.
