Report: Honda delaying next CR-V

According to Bloomberg, Honda has delayed the release of the next-generation CR-V as a result of supplier constriction brought on by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear tragedies in Japan. The report says that the 2012 Honda CR-V will debut a month later than originally anticipated, though that model won't be the only vehicle in the Japanese automaker's stable impacted by the events. Bloomberg also notes that the recently unveiled 2012 Honda Civic will see limited production for the next few months, as well.

Honda also announced that it will begin production of the CR-V at the company's Alliston, Ontario manufacturing facility while continuing to build the vehicles in East Liberty, Ohio as well.

Like most Japanese automakers, Honda says that full-scale production won't resume until late 2011 as the rebuilding process continues. Toyota recently announced that the company's operations have been cut to 50 percent capacity and that it doesn't expect to see full production again until December at the earliest.

While its ugly as sin the fact is its what 5-6 years old and selling like hotcakes. I'd milk it 4-5 more years if it continues to sell that well. Its clear consumers like it as its gotten older.

 

Top selling SUV in US, mainly because it drives better than most of the SUVs in this class (most of the competing vehicles have crappier 4 bangers adding to the miserable econobox on stilts effect). A redesign can only boost sales.

 

Like the Civic, the CRV has become a household name for small SUV. Props to Honda for selling so many of these.

 

Even with a new model on the way, in March they sold 22K (+43%) and YTD thru March 57K (+56%). No too shabby at all.

 

is really 30 days a delay for a car?

 

Does anyone have legit photos or spy shots of the 2012 cr-v ( i goog'd with no luck)? Maybe it's been debuted and I've been under a rock? lol

 

people are getting to it before the redesign hits the shelves?

 

Yup. This is a huge hit for Honda and is dominating the 4 cylinder market.

That was funny.

 

nope... Rav4 is coming soon as well, no shots either :-)... Camry as well...

 

No 2012 pics have been revealed.

But I must say and end it with this... *another day, another delay.*
