My dealer invited me to a gathering last April 14. they had test drive units of CRV's which we really TESTED. the CRV here in the Philippines is powered by a K20 only and is a 2wd model. so we had a manual CRV pulled out and the civic became its benchmark. 0-100kmh, 1/4 mile and even slaloms. We did in the streets of a developing village. Since it was a Honda dealership that usually took customers for a test drive there, it was legal.
0-100kmh --- the civic came in at 9.2 sec. the CRV at 11.65sec.
1/4 mile --- civic: 16.80 sec. (don't know what the speed is, no radar) CRV 18.34sec.
slalom was pretty much more of handling and im impressed with the CRV. in fact we just bought one but its an auto.

The new CRVs are only front wheel drive? The older ones had realtime 4wd right?

nope, the current US CR-V uses K24 and does have full time 4WD.

it would be nice. do you guys think swapping the the d17 out for other things will be just as popular and affordable as it was the elder generations????

we'll wait and see when our 7thgens become older than the upcomming 8thgens... i wonder if honda can convince me into getting an 8thgen instead of heading up to an acura : D

nooo. The engine bay in our cars is not as easy to work with. The 6th gen had a lot of space, but the new one is way smaller.
