My Take: The numbers aren’t looking very good on the Honda CR-V this month, so I’m not going to bother estimating payments, unless it’s requested. The residual is strong, but the MF is Honda’s standard rate, which means no lease support. Can’t blame them, the CR-V is a solid crossover SUV that’s fair efficient with gas and has pretty good cargo space. It’s not bad to look at either. I think the sweet spot (if you can call it that) would be the 36 and 48 months since the residual values drop “only” about 8%.
