Well, this is confirmed, Honda has added a 2 Wheel Drive version of the EX to their lineup. It has always been the LX (base model) that had the 2WD option, so it's nice to see a mid-level trim step to the plate with a 2WD. Their are alot of people that like the CRV's utilitarianess (is that a word?!?) but don't necissarily need the AWD. The cute-ute is still a front wheel drive vehicle and will handle most of what the roads have to offer anyway.And yes, this is for Canada.
