Replying to: dodgeman07 (Nov 05, 2009 12:50 pm) Doesn't seem too out of line to me. There are three Hondas in my driveway, but I have to admit, the Crosstour wouldn't be at the top of my list; too pricey and impractical when compared to a CR-V. The only thing it offers to me that would matter is more power (the CR-V isn't slow, but its noticeably off-pace compared to my 166-horse Accord). But $30k for the cheapest version? I'd rather get a $25k sedan and a used pickup for $5k! Replies to this message: drr98 (Nov 05, 2009 8:35 pm)

A rally sedan might work though, ha.   They nailed my segment with this type of vehicle as it can and will serve many purposes...commuter, grocery getter, airport shuttle, stylish night on the town with friends, mountain adventure transporter for five, etc.   And make mine handle well and be able to get out of its own way and I'm good.   Back to the textured rockers- they should help hide rock chips well.

Steering in the Honda, though, is quite lifeless."   I am confused by that statement.   I drove the Venza and felt it lacked feedback, and he fails to mention this.   He likes the handling (corners commendably, especially when compared to the Venza) but says the Honda steering is numb.   So it maybe they both lack feedback. We will see in about 1 week when the ACT gets here.

#84 of 96 Seattle Auto Show... by isellhondas Nov 14, 2009 (5:05 pm)
The Crosstour has been the hit of the show and none of us have yet to hear anyone complain about it's looks. Quite the opposite.   Of course there will always be a few people who won't like any car!   Now, if only we can get a bunch of them here in a hurry!

#85 of 96 Seattle Auto Show... [isellhondas] by bearcrkrd Nov 18, 2009 (3:27 pm)
Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 14, 2009 5:05 pm) I talked my sister into going the first day. She had never been to an auto show before. Am trying hard to get her to buy a new car. Had her in your silver Accord LX at least three times. The size scared her off, after I mentioned it, I have to add. I hadn't sat in it myself. I went back the next day on my own. Of the various "4 doors and a truck w/plastic hubcaps" cars that we had checked out extensively the day before, the Accord was the best in my book. She liked the Camry and Jetta (SE trim on the Jetta, not plastic hubcap stripper). I think the Crosstour and it's ilk are a terrible idea. Think it stinks. Or thought so?Honda really nailed it. That was quite a vehicle. Not as fine as the Cadillac CTS wagon, but that's apples to oranges.... From the teal color to the buttoned down look of it to the big 6 to the way the size is (or looks) not too big, it was fine. I am looking at a little tiny picture of a Red one as I type this. The vehicle at the show looked much more elegant than this little picture here. Replies to this message: drr98 (Nov 18, 2009 9:40 pm) thegraduate (Nov 19, 2009 6:18 am)

Replying to: bearcrkrd (Nov 18, 2009 3:27 pm) Good on you. You saw it in person. And you liked it. I can't wait to see it. Soon I hope.   Like I said before to all those haters who posted as to how ugly it is...   "ugly is in the eye of the beholder, so go behold one and get back to us" Replies to this message: thegraduate (Nov 19, 2009 6:18 am)

Replying to: drr98 (Nov 18, 2009 9:40 pm) I "beheld" a Crosstour last Friday at the Auto Show; I was with six people I knew. One loved it, the other five couldn't have cared less about it. Me? I felt about like I feel about the current Accord sedan. I wasn't put-off by the design, but it didn't make me want one either.   I was surprised to sit in a Venza and find touches of cheapness here and there (flimsy plastic covers, etc). I had higher hopes for that vehicle.
