A really green CRV

stuartd · 29th April 2009, 00:47

I've saw a Green CRV twice this week, didn't know Honda UK sold them in that colour. Both times were around Hamilton in Lanarkshire.

Can't say I'm too keen on the colour, but it's certainly unusual.

Looks like this, found the pic here but with alloy wheels

Just thought I'd post this as it's tge first one I've seen in this colour.

Looks like a US pic, maybe a colour mainly for that tasteless market.

It was available in some european countries (not in Switzerland, for example) but only for 2007 MY. The official name is "Moorland Green" or "Green Tea" in the US.

We have them too, does not look that good (my opinion)
Anyone has a white one?

Yes, I saw a white one at our Civinfo meet last summer.
No pic I am afraid.

Looked nice actually (I am not really a white car fan).

If I manage to sell my 2005 CR-V ... I would get a 2009 EX petrol manual in white, if it's available because of the factory shutdown it looks like the choice is getting more limited, at least if you went to have it delivered before August.

I just ordered a CR-V from lookers Honda Notts and they have Sparkle Pearl grey, Whistler Silver and Blueish Silver.

Just got a phone call from my dealer who said that this combination is not available until late August ... or, at least, there's no still allocated to Switzerland.

They will check if it could be ordered from another country

Looks like they've closed the factory a little too long

Here is a white one
Top on my list for the moment...
I am checking "easy to respray colour" due to bad experience to respray my Civ after fender bender (I was parked). Needed 3 times respray of the complete left side! to get is allmost right.

stuartd · 1st May 2009, 21:49

It looks good in white. Much better than I thought it would.

Yes but it's not available on Colours | CR-V | New Cars | Honda (UK)

Stef · 6th May 2009, 11:52

Indeed
just wish we could realy "build" the car like we want it
White + Beige alcantara + Sunroof

In Belgium if you get EX you MUST take leather

All is available, but we simply can not get it !
Honda do something about that to be more competitive with German carmakers

AoS · 6th May 2009, 12:48

Well, in Belgium you still have the option to take the Elegance + Sun & Light pack (HID, glass roof, privacy glass). This is not even possible in Switzerland
