Although this CR-V is sporting Ohio license plates, we "caught" this pre-production CR-V a bit west of the Mississippi. The CR-V is undergoing final testing before the all-new ute hits the dealer showrooms later this year. Still CR-V-looking with high-mounted vertical taillamps, but with no spare tire mounted on the tailgate - the CR-V becomes a "real" hatchback. The CR-V's 2.4-liter engine will be tweaked a bit for 2007 - giving the new CR-V about 170-horsepower. A hybrid version may be available for the 2008 model year.
