Is the newer a Honda CRV too "Dan" for a dude to drive?

    Right now, my wife and I own a 2004 Honda Accord and a 2008 Ford Explorer. I drive 25 miles one way to work and my wife only drives around town as needed. She puts on way less miles than I do. For that reason, typically I drive the Accord to work and she drives the Explorer. We are thinking about replacing the Accord sometime soon and one of the vehicles we are considering is a Honda CRV. One of the reasons we like the CRV is because of the cargo room and gas millage you get and that way we can drive that up north to the cabin and still get good gas millage.

    If we did get one I would either have to drive the Explorer to work which would increase my fuel cost. Or drive the CRV to work.


    So is it too :dan: for a guy to drive this on a regular basis?

    I've been considering buying one, great mileage and AWD for nasty winter roads. I think it would only be :dan:if you got one of the girly colors.

    I think it is ok BUT you will have to wear a pair of Toms while driving.

    I don't think it looks :dan:but it is a strange looking vehicle. It looks like a mix between a Buick Enclave and a Ford Focus.

    Pilot costs a lot more and burns more fuel. But we would LOVE a pilot .

    We were also looking at the Ford Edge. But believe strongly in Honda's reliability.

    Nothing wrong at all with driving that if its saving you money and it has the capabilities you're looking for. I do agree with the stay away from the feminine colors thing though. Haha

    Edge is an awesome car. I had one for a rental. My girlfriends dad has that crv and I actually hate driving it. Lot of blind spots and really sluggish.

    It wouldn't be my choice but I certainly wouldn't think less of anyone who chooses one

    I'm going against the grain and saying it is "Dan". Nothing cool about that vehicle even with those posed pictures you posted. My mother in law has one in Florida and I had to drive it one morning to get coffee while visiting her and the blind spots are terrible. Even worse was how embarrassed I felt walking into the Dunkin Donuts.
