The Crosstour is to me very different than that
This is what I think of as an Accord Wagon

I haven't looked at this thread in a while and was shocked, yes shocked, to see that you sold your RAV, Patty. You're going to miss the acceleration, even if your Crossfire, Crosstour, Crossover or whatever it is, has a V6. I can't vouch for your leather problem, but you need not be worried about something else going wrong. I'm on my second RAV (after 3 4Runners) and they have all been zero problems. I really think you are a bit like me and just like a new car every three years (or less). Any excuse to get one is good.

Yes, the Crosstour is basically an Accord wagon, just like the 1991 Accord wagon I put over 100,000 miles on
They could have just called it an Accord wagon but they call it an Accord Crosstour.

Doug. The Crosstour isn't a typical wagon so it's really a crossover of some type. It's got higher ground clearance which I like. I like ^that. Does it exist in real life somewhere?

Patty, funny you didn't like the seat. Years ago I was looking for a new car and narrowed it down to the Camry vs. the Accord. The one single thing that made my decision was the drivers seat. The Accord was hard and the Camry was softer, so I bought the Camry. I haven't noticed that my RAV seat is uncomfortable. Longest trip has been Tahoe, about 4 hours, though.
Well enjoy your new Honda.

I'm not picking you Patty, but I have to point out that while you may drive some of your vehicles 100,000 miles, when I first met you on-line (about 2003?) you had an S2000. I forgot the color. Then you got your Suzuki Blue 05. Then you got your Blue Rav4. Then you got your Blue NSX. Then you got your Blue Crosstour. If my math is correct, that's 5 cars you've had (that I know of) in 8 years. One every 19 months, give or take. Did I miss any?
I'm not picking on you- if anything I'm jealous. OK, when it comes to your NSX, I'm really jealous.

If money and garage space and time were unlimited, I would have one of these!
My 1st car was a Falcon just like this, only in a 4-door
I always loved this little wagon
And exactly like my interior, right down to the 3-in-the-tree

Looks like a 64, right? The first car I drove was my Mom's 60 Falcon, also 3 on a tree. It could barely get out of it's own way. The 260 4speed was a bit faster.
