An Exercise in Futility: Comparing the Cherokee & CR-V
Crossovers and SUVs just don’t do it for me. There I said it…
So, what thrills me less than the need to run a comparison between two crossovers? Easy. The need to run a comparison between two compact crossovers. Despite their overwhelming popularity, I still find it hard to endorse one over another with any kind of genuine enthusiasm.
