With the floods possibly on their way, you might want to reconsider buying that new compact. Just in time, Chevrolet and Honda have rolled out their new SUVs. Personally we think the Chevrolet Trailblazer (from B1,059,000) looks a bit too intrepid for Bangkokians, but the new Honda CR-V sports a more European-style design as well as a comfy interior suited to sitting out traffic jams. The fourthgeneration of Honda’s most popular five-door SUV offers a choice of 2.0 or 2.4 litre engines, along with an electronic stability control system, GPS, rear-view camera, eco-friendly smart driving assistant and E85 petrol compatibility. Available in six colors, B1,164,000 to B1,524,000. www.honda.co.th
