The Urban SUV

With one of Honda's coolest concepts ever, Honda unveiled the Urban SUV on Monday at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Coming to the US in 2014 (we'll definitely let you know when we get one), this all-new small SUV will be fuel efficient, chock-full of Honda technology and priced and positioned below the CRV in Honda's light truck line-up.  Measuring 169.3 inches, the Urban SUV is 9 inches shorter than the CRV, increasing it's maneuverability on crowded city streets while maintaining drivability on mountain roads.

John Mendel, executive VP of sales at American Honda noted, "We expect fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive 'small' cars to play a key role in meeting the needs of consumers in the U.S."

The dynamic and youthful styling seemed to be aimed at younger buyers with an active lifestyle.  So, US consumers, what do you think of it?
