CR-V : New Front Grille Confirmed

[ccacp89103]

Here is a quote from another CR-V forum:
First off, I would like to tell everyone that I just got back from a training seminar today for the new 2007 CR-V!!!! I have sold Honda's for over 18 years and I must say that this is the 'BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT' I have ever seen on a model change from Honda ever!!!! This new version 'RIDES','HANDLES','ACCELERATES' and 'FEELS' 100% BETTER than the 2006 outgoing model!!!! The COMPARISON is like 'NIGHT and DAY'!!!! We all agreed that after driving the new 3rd generation and learning about all it's new features that the 2006 model has nothing in common with the new 2007 CR-V except the NAME ONLY!!!! Pricing is up a bit over last year's model. Expect around a $1,200.00 increase on average for each version LX, EX, EX-L=(Leather) and EX-L Navigation!!!! One newsbreaking item that will be of GREAT RELIEF for thousands of CR-V AFICIONADOS across America is that the 'FRONT END' is DIFFERENT, and might I say a 'VAST IMPROVEMENT' over the pictures we all have seen in recent weeks!!!! This is all I can DIVULGE for now!!!!

The question is ... is the front end different because the spy shots were JDM or European CR-V's instead of US ones ... or did they decide to change it since the spy shots were revealed :?:

Check out my post from yesterday, and look at those pictures. In that post I asked "look at the front end, is it different?

What do you guys think?"

It is kinda hard to tell what the front end looks like in that photo due to the cladding and "fuzziness".
Here is a "speculated" pricing scenario based on a $1,200 increase:

Model / 2006 / 2007
LX / $21,595 / $22,795
EX / $23,750 / $24,950
EX-L (SE) / $25,400 / $26,600
EX-L Nav / (n/a) / $27,800

[etc]

seems just the same grille to me :roll:

what seems different is the mirrors

i think, if it did change looking at the new pilot would possibly be a good idication of what it may be, that pic u really cant tell much only thing id say are those lower metal bars may be missing or not as many cuz nothing is reflecting like the chrome strip in the middle. The H seems to be mounted on a bar vs. being part of the sloping nose. this guys camera didnt have a zoom where was he 5 blocks away lol

Based on those shots, I would say it looks like THIS for the US:

LOOK CLOSELY AT MY CHANGES!

Somebody please translate this, but definitely a more promising iteration... or is it photochopped?

You can get a literal translation by pasting the URL or cut & pasting the text in Here (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) but I will tell you there's no info on the spy pics on that page. Just one of the several pre-production variants that have been seen, in my opinion.

What's with that TOV watermark? Didn't notice this until I looked up the enlarged photo. I can't seem to locate this image over at the vtec.net web site. What's a .ru website doing with that image anyways?

[etc]

its photoshopped from this original photo
