Aacch! We got a Crosstour as a loaner until our TSX Wagon Tech order is fullfilled.

I need to get sunglasses and a scarf so no one will recognize me.




I'm going to have to eat me words.... ugly yes... but I could live very happily with this car.



I told you you'd like it. Rearward visibility sort of sucks but it is comfy, fairly nimble, and it possesses suprising passing power on the freeway. Fuel economy's not too bad either (probably uses about 25% less gas "real world" than the leaden Pilot you were considering). By the way, if looks are what worried you, I think you may have a push with the Crosstour. The Pilot is far from a stunner.




I'll do a quick write up this weekend... I want to gas it up first.. mileage does suck when you've used to the hybrid.

It was fun peeling off the parking lot at the local Farsi Foods Emporium. Took TCS off, turning right and peeled off. The wife thought I was being wicked but she loved it too. ;-)

We're into Year 3 with ours, just under 30K miles. My wife loves everything but the ugly butt, with the only bonus being that it's real easy to find in a big-box-store parking lot. We just completed our annual 1500 mile trip to our summer place, and the CT is one awesome long-distance road machine, much better than the RX350 we had before it. 28 - 29 mpg real world mileage. The CT is her daily driver, the TSX is mine.

I took the CT to Mosport on the weekend, where, yet again, people came up and complimented me on how nice it looks. An identical CT, dark grey like mine, parked nearby and we complimented each other on our excellent taste in cars. Ha!

If you like the Crosstour, try out a 2013 RDX. Even better.

I'm staying pure... the TSX is somewhere in Torrance.. the lease for the Si has been accepted, meaning we'll get the VIN very soon ( three were available as of two days ago ).

Soon all of our cars will be four bangers. Either with VTEC or IMA.
