The 2007 Honda CR-V may be the sister ship to the Acura RDX — introduced at the New York show this past March — but it won't be getting the same hotshot turbocharged burner as its corporate cousin. Still, as a new set of spy shots suggest, the CR-V is certainly up for a redesign that will likely make it more competitive with the new-generation Toyota RAV4 (and other utes in its class picture). It'll also lose at least of its jeepster pretensions (i.e., the outside spare tire's coming in), but gain a much-needed horsepower boost. Look for it this fall.
