Honda decided to unveil their 2012 CR-V concept in late July...or should we say tease us with a sneak peak. The biggest change to report is that it looks like the exterior of the Honda CR-V CUV will be refreshed for the 2012 model year. Thanks to more chiseled sculpting, added fender flares, a horizontal three-bar grille and five-spoke wheels, it promises to give drivers a much more commanding presence.

Honda did not provide any pictures of the inside...See, we told you they didn't offer up much. They did, however, share plans to add more comfort and convenience features and lower the cargo floor for easier loading and unloading.

The refreshed 2012 Honda CR-V is slated to hit Diamond Honda of Puente Hills' showroom floors this fall. With summer quickly passing, we expect Honda to release addition details surrounding changes to the 2012 model-year CR-V soon. And, we promise that when they do, you'll be among the first to know.
