Anyone own a 2010 Crosstour yet?

What are your initial reactions to the Crosstour?

I think it is a great new introduction for Honda and am interested in getting one someday so I am starting to ask questions of current owners

Your opinions are appreciated.

We saw one at the local dealer, sat in it (it was pre-sold, so no test drive) and actually "ordered" one. We really liked it until we did the math---

Compared to an EXL-V6 sedan, the Crosstour EX-L costs about $7K extra for AWD and a hatch, which we decided was simply way too much money for those two items, so we bought the EXL-V6 Accord Sedan instead.

We already have a Ridgeline, so a 2nd vehicle with AWD wasn't really necessary.

Also, it gets about 4 mpg worse mileage compared to the 2WD EX-L, and looks quite different. Some people like the looks (we did) while others think it's ugly. I will say that the view to the rear is truly terrible, and Honda should dump the split rear window.

Our deposit for the Crosstour was applied to the purchase of the EX-L.

BTW- We are totally pleased with the EX-L.
