The 2020 Honda CR-V Touring.
About the headline.  Yes, Honda makes several cars.  All of them very, very good cars.  But the CR-V is Honda in the sense that it is the best-selling vehicle Honda makes and it embodies pretty much every virtue that has made Honda what it is for the past 40-plus years.

In the same way the 1976 Accord did, the 2020 Honda CR-V checks all of the boxes for what Americans want and need in an automobile---room for people and things, high quality, exceptional fuel economy and unshakable reliability.
