THE BAD 8 v3.0 – PART IV


HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR


Top 3 Reasons For Avoiding: Styling is embarrassing for everybody involved, even the people looking at it. Ridiculously overpriced. The wrong answer to the question plenty of people asked. The right answer’s over at Acura – it’s called the TSX wagon.


Alternatives: Subaru Outback, Toyota Venza, Mazda CX-9

Base USD Price: $29,670
Ideal Owner: The very people Honda wants to sell this car to – the wrong people to sell anything to: active empty-nest boomers who want to tote the grandkids around every now and then. Honda doesn’t phrase it quite that way.

Necessary Incentivizing B4 Purchase: $10,000 off the sticker.
