Last year that figure was just over 357,000 and we think that the redesign ushered in by the 2017 model will propel that number to even greater heights.<\/p>\n<p>Because this is a podcast we\u2019ll let you know about one change that\u2019s harder to convey by ear: its looks. The 2017 CR-V introduces an entirely new look that borrows some from the Civic, which also underwent a striking exterior revision. It\u2019s bigger, and different, but since it\u2019s from Honda you know it\u2019s been tested with one key feature in mind: ease of use.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll let Mark and special guest Porter Good from Leith Honda talk to you about the rest.
