Hondas are good cars. I just traded in an '07 Honda Accord EX-L w/the 4 cylinder that was flawless and had 102K on it., but needed an AWD car for the winter.
 
The dealer gave me $12,000.00 for it. I traded it in on a new 2012 Subaru Legacy Limited.
 
As far as the Crosstour-I cross shopped that with the Subaru because I already had the Accord and it could be had with AWD. To be honest, I felt they were over priced for a vehicle which is admittedly a poor seller.
 
From a reliability standpoint I would recommend them. From a eye appeal and resale (Honda will tell you they are a Honda they have good resale-but the fact remains they don't sell very many at all) value standpoint I would stay away. The choice is yours.

According to a leading consumer magazine (you know who I mean), here is a quick sample of rated and actual mixed MPG in their tests.
EPA Overall/mixed actual
Silverado 5.3L 14/21 14
Tundra 5.7L 14/18 15
F150 5.0L 14/19 15
F150 3.5L eco 15/21 15
Ram 5.7 13/18 14
  
You can draw your own conclusions. I have a 2011 5.3 L and get about 15 MPG.
====================================================
Thanks lesbo,
     Man that sucks! EPA might as well shut down if they can't do any better than that.

That mpg figure for the Ecoboost is a big disconnect on what is being reported over on most Ford Eco-Boost forums....it's higher.
