“Getting the public to beta test prototypes”--that’s more of a video game thing. That’s how companies like Bethesda and CD Projekt Red work. 

So, uh, take your dog to the bar with you? 

Every single feature of this base model sounds better than the pricier one: smaller wheels, no sunroof, no tint + a few things I don’t care about that could break eventually. This “base” model sounds like how I would option this car, if I were a CR-V buyer. 

we test drove a volvo wagon when we bought the missus’s audi q5. The touch-screen hvac in the volvo was the disqualifier. Full deal-breaker there.

The mount points in the floor were spaced perfectly and generic so that you could remove the benches and put one back in with its front feet in the back mount points from the front bench and back feet in the front mount points of the back bench.
