Honda Maryland:  There's disagreement within Honda as to what "CR-V" stands for. Different areas of the company alternately make references to "Civic Recreation Vehicle" (because the SUV was built on the Civic platform), "Compact Recreation Vehicle," and "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle." No matter which is correct, CRV-fans will agree that all these descriptions are fitting. Although the compact crossover SUV made its debut in Japan in 1995, Honda was reluctant to market the vehicle in the U.S., fearing it would be eclipsed by the Honda Passport. The automaker eventually brought the CR-V to the U.S. market in 1997 to compete with the successful Toyota RAV4. Its roomy cabin, superior crashworthiness, and reliability make the 2011 Honda CR-V a great choice for buyers looking for a family SUV. Currently in the fifth year of its third generation, the CR-V remains unchanged for 2011, save for the introduction of the SE trim level, which joins the LX, EX, EX-L, and EX-L with Navigation trims. All are available in front- or all-wheel drive.
