Great review as always. This CRV strikes me as a "chick crossover" - I'd never consider one personally, though I'm sure it is just fine for family hauling duties. No comparison to the styling of the Evoque or even LR2 (yes I know totally different market), shows how small SUV's can look great.
I agree, too soft and cute. A more aggressive, edgy look would work for me.
Heck, I still prefer the clean lines of my old 06' Nissan X-Trail
