My wife and I have decided we can upgrade her from our '90 Crown Vic to what she wants, a new Honda CR-V EX.

Now, I'll ask you kindly not to help us make up our minds about buying something else, we've (it's going to be hers, so she's) decided she really wants this mini truck.

Also, please save the SUV rants for somewhere else. I've heard 'em. Besides, there are many worse CARS to buy gas mileage-wise.

What we really are stuck on is: to wait for the 2005's or not? I don't know when Honda puts its new model year on sale, but I'd sure like to.
I can't find any pictures of a 2005 CR-V.
I find it really annoying that I can't get much on a new model a few short months from its intro. I'd really appreciate any help on changes to the new model. I'd especially appreciate pictures. Advice on buying one in the Columbus, OH region won't hurt either.

I'll be more than happy to share what I've found so far (I've added my comments to some features).

EX will have:
* Steering wheel audio controls.
* Outside temp gauge.
* 16" Alloy wheels

All other CRV models:
* New grille.
* Revised headlights.
* Integrated key/keyless entry fob (Keyless entry Remote on Key like Accord)
* Integrated headrests.
* Larger brakes.
* Side curtain airbags on all models. ---That would be really importand to me.
* ABS & VSA on all models.
* Improved AWD system.
* Possible 5 speed Auto --I read the fourbanger spins a little high on the freeway. A 5th gear would be like my car, relax it a bit on the freeway and get better mileage while we're at it.
* "SE" Model returns with body-colored bumpers, hard spare tire cover, heated leather seats. --I seriously would like leather.
