Picked up mine last night. 2W EX. Beige. Really impressed on handling & Style inside and out. My other car is a TSX and I would say that most of the lighting of the dash board is a copy of the TSX, from the blue background on the instrument panel to the blue ambiance light close to the glass holder. If I had bought the EX-L I would say that the new V would be maybe 80% to 90% close to the Acura. Handling is also very close but of course is not as fast but is not slow either.
The only problem that I may have seen thus far is that the transmission shifter is some how in the way when you’re trying to operate the A/C. otherwise the car feels & handles lots better than the 2001 I had by far.
The only thing I didn’t like was that I had to pay MSRP, they wouldn’t’ give me a penny except a $200.00 gas card & a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas or Mexico.

Would you do us all a favor and post some pictures of your new CR-V?
Much appreciated.
Sidenote: I thought I saw a picture of LX and EX CR-V's with body matching door handles? Has anyone else noticed that?

The Atlanta "sitings" that were posting last night only showed the EX-L with color-coded handles :(

I test drove the EX tonight and it's just like driving a car. A lot more room in the seats and the shifter on the lower dash is a great plus. More power and no tourqe steer. The door handles and mirrors are black on the LX and EX model. No XM on EX, only EX-L. The only problem I saw is if you want to add aftermarket XM, SIRUS or a MP3 player the AUX output is facing the front of the car in the center console, along with 12-volt outlet. Wires would be exposed and hard to read unit. The price for the EX I test drove was $24695.00. EX-L was $26985.00. And there were NO giveaway's at this honda dealer either.
