    The Honda Crosstour isn’t doing so well. Sales have gone into a swan dive, with sales in January seeing a 40% drop. In December, President and CEO of American Honda, Tetsuo Iwamura vowed to make the vehicle successful.

    Now, Honda will be showing off a Crosstour concept at the next month’s New York Auto Show. Like most other Honda concepts, the Crosstour concept will be a lightly veiled production model. Expect many changes seen on the Accord shown at Detroit to make their onto the Crosstour.

    • The front 2/3 of the car are attractive enough.  I don't know much else about it.
    • I would not get a Super.  Find one with the normally aspirated 3800 V6.  Toward its final year, they may have gone to a Chevy sourced 3900 or 3500 V6.  I guess those are ok if lower mileage, but the Buick 3800 V6 tends to be stellar. I just saw this or would have responded earlier.
    • @crvette_guy - I just thought of one if you really wanted a northstar and a larger sedan. You could get the final generation of Cadilac STS.  The first gen CTS-V would work also, but they're harder to find cheap while also being in good shape.  Still, the first-gen CTS-V is just a standard GM 5.7 or 6.0 liter and dead reliable. You can get it with a manual also.  It might be worth spending a little more to go this route instead of going with a cheaper Northstar powered car in the long run.
    • There's not a lot of choices for RWD in the big family sedan space. Charger, 300C, Town Car, Crown Vic, or if you go a lot older, Impala, Roadmaster, Fleetwood. Crown Vics and Town Cars really don't have the performance to be doing sideways stuff. Charger/300 with a Hemi is your best bet for that.  I wouldn't want to see you doing that with the Roadmaster / Fleetwood.  They have the ability, but they're classics now and should be preserved.  Outside of that you're looking at Germans (too expensive to maintain) or Lexus / Infiniti. 
    • I'm probably going to be traveling more often for work again.  I've done it in Teslas before, so I know that 250kw would be okay.  The Silverado EV does still have CarPlay... if you get the W/T trim.  I'm not a W/T kinda gal. RST or Trail Boss (or High Country if they made one) for me and they don't get CarPlay.  The only Silverado EVs that look any good to me are the RSTs in Blue or Black. The Red Trail Boss is... okay.  In white, they look like an electric company fleet vehicle. All of the Denali EVs seem to be in Military Gray Metalic that looks blah.  I really don't know where I want to go. I am going to try and hang onto my Avalanche regardless. I think I'll end up regretting it if I sold it.  Part of me also thinks just get something like an Ioniq 6 or GV60 for myself to put business miles on and put the Avalanche into storage.  The Lyriq has really grown on me (it still has CarPlay). It might be an option once we replace the 300C. We just passed 100k miles there. His job situation is still in limbo. It could go to where he is 100% public transit or 75% travel requiring a vehicle.... so still waiting on that. We find out by July.
