You said it. The looks of the CRV are either hate it or love it! Personally I don't like the front, specially the grill part. The GV on the other hand looks more soothing to the eye. Simple. But, I love the looks of a certain other car too. So don't take my word for it. I am weird.
The indicators are to the left since its a CBU. Since the SX4, GV, swift share a similar platform I guess we will find a lot more things in common. Something that we have to live with. What the car needs is the V6. The H27A was a scorcher.
What would I pick? No brainer. GV, dish out the 3L+ on a turbo kit
. Told you I am mad.
