Naughty: 2012 Honda CR-V

The CR-V’s new styling is well-executed with a unique headlight and grille design that flow together. What puts us off is the CR-V’s lack of advanced lighting options like projector housings to focus the headlight beam or high-intensity-discharge lights for more light output. With an all-new exterior design, we hoped Honda would have added more options to better match competitors like the new Ford Escape, Kia Sportage and Chevrolet Equinox.

Nice: 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Land Rover’s Evoque changed very little in its transformation from concept to ready-for-the-road SUV. Now a full-blown production model, the Evoque’s headlights look just as radical as the concept’s headlamps, with LED halo lighting around the low and high beams as well as high-intensity-discharge lights. The adaptive headlamps swivel in the direction of the steering wheel, and an automatic high-beam feature dips the lighting beam when it detects oncoming traffic.
