I bought a Crosstour. We're picking it up in the morning.

Lainey - I think we solved the power problem.

Rob - I will miss the Si but I've still got the primary toy.

And, best of all, when you're sitting inside it you can't see its, um, distinctive exterior! HPH

And this from a Suckaroo owner. I need to edit the first post.

Congrats. When I first saw the pictures of the Crosstour I thought it was the goofiest looking thing I had ever seen. Then I looked around the interior and drove one when shooping for a boat puller and really began to appeciate it.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but does alot of things quietly well and with a lot of refinement and comfort for the driver over something like a truck.

Coming from a PT Cruiser/Si combination this is definitely a step up. It melds 2 into 1 pretty well. I'll need a week or two with the manual to figure out all the "stuff" though.

Hee hee. Would it make you feel better if I said (truthfully) that I don't like the Panamera either? HPH

Well, even though his taste in vehicles couldn't be described as being impeccable, and he certainly shouldn't be throwing any stones, he does have a point.

Raymo, what sold you on the Crosstour over a CR-V?

I was just saying how much I liked my '08 RAV4 (V-6, 4wd, Limited package) and then I noticed the driver's seat has a little tear starting in the leather. It's not uncommon according to the RAV4 forum and the service writer I talked to. It's still under warranty, at 31,000 miles. Made me want to look at Hondas again. I never have had any issues with substandard materials in any of my 6 Hondas. When I bought the RAV4 in May 2008, there wasn't any Honda that filled the niche the RAV4 does. I think it's the same, now.

They didn't have (and couldn't get) a black navi CR-V but they had a Crosstour on the lot. I only get to say no to this woman twice a year and the price difference wasn't enough to bring that into play.

But aren't they quite different vehicles? Are you not that picky? What were/are you looking for in your vehicle? Or just a black Honda with navi?
