A Suspension lift and 475 hp say that this is not your girlfriend’s Honda CR-V.
Tony Newton doesn’t belong to a sorority. There isn’t a yoga mat stashed in the back of his Honda CR-V, and he sure as hell doesn’t bring his Pomeranian to the dog park on Sunday mornings like Honda’s mid-’90s product-planning committee thought he would. That’s mostly because Newton isn’t Honda’s ideal CR-V owner and, well, he doesn’t own a Pomeranian, either.
Check out any recent Honda-related event coverage (especially the East Coast) and you’ll notice an unusual influx of CR-V builds. Typically slammed and oftentimes sporting excessive camber, Honda’s first-generation, utilitarian people mover seems to have caught some steam within the stance crowd. This particular build, however, isn’t like anything you’d expect from the late-’90s crossover.
