Looking for a small SUV with the best possible mileage? The diesel-powered Honda CRV fits the bill as one of the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs on the face of the planet. No doubt about it, the diesel Honda CRV is destined to become a ski wagon of choice for the budget-conc ious and the in-crowd alike. This isn't your mom's CR-V. Sleek lines, leather interior, factory iPod hookup and wicked good MPGs ...

Equipped with the 2.2 liter i-CTDi, the Real Time 4WD CR-V travels from 0-62 MPH in a reasonable 10.3 seconds, with 43.5 MPG (approx 36 US MPG) combined.

The diesel-powered Honda CR-V will get you to the mountain or beach in gas-sipping style. There's even a system that takes the white knuckles out of towing a trailer. In combination with the CR-V's Vehicle Stability Assist, the Trailer Stability Assist system detects swaying trailers and automatically applies the front brakes to "stop snaking."

Be sure to bug your local Honda dealer to find out when these sweet little high MPG wagons will be hitting our shores ...
