Honda CR-V: Making it less simple

Two Honda CR-Vs

Honda’s CR-V started out as a wonderfully practical small crossover utility vehicle. However, with each successive generation it has gotten bigger and more “stylish.”

Consider the difference between the third-generation (2007-11) and second-generation (2002-6) CR-Vs pictured here (Wikipedia, 2014). The newer version, in the foreground, has a visibility-reducing arch to the rear window. Presumably the catsup oracles thought that made it look better. But does it really? The arch strikes me as too sharp to work with an otherwise fairly boxy shape.
