Crosstours are unknown here, are they a large vehicle, like a mid-size SUV or something?
My son turns 16 next month, and will be legally allowed to terrorize the wider population on the roads. For the past couple of years he's been getting in some practice by driving around the paddocks in Farmtruck (our old Nissan Stagea beater) but given how every other vehicle round here is getting bigger (as is he) we're looking to buy something that can compete in an accident, should the worst happen. I hate getting into arms races but sometimes you just have to run with it.
Quite likely to be a VW Touareg so it can be the backup tow vehicle as well, and the controls are similar to our Q7 so no issues with finding the indicator stalk etc.
Meanwhile the S still sits in the garage, under its cover, unloved, possibly housing rodents. Poor thing. It may end up being traded in, I know I won't get anywhere near the price I would selling privately but the market is relatively flooded with them at the moment (20 for sale in the country) and few are moving.

The Crosstour is a c.u.v. which stands for crossover utility vehicle. I have never seen one till Patty posted a picture of hers awhile back.

Yes! My 2011 was a grayish blue.
I am all about color. I chased S2000s for color with a 2001 Silverstone, a 2005 Suzuka Blue and finally the 2007 Laguna Blue. I bought my 2005 and 2017 NSXs used. I had only one color I'd consider buying for each.

The new GR Supra A91-MT comes in Cu later or, for an extra $1,645, Burnout.
I miss muscle car colors like plumb crazy and Go Mango.

They were not popular when they came out. Consumer Reports was not a fan. I was thrilled with my 2011 and bought it to get ride of my 2008 RAV4 4wd. I liked the RAV4 but the driver's seat was super uncomfortable for me.
