Title: 2010 Cars to Buy & Avoid

Guess who's first on the avoid list? 2010 Crosstour

Honda Accord Crosstour
Given the popularity of its coupe and sedan siblings, much was expected of the new Accord Crosstour, an affordable midsize SUV. Sadly, it doesn’t match the hype. It’s luxurious and is backed by Honda’s superb history of reliability, but commands an expensive price tag. Plus, with only 25.7 to 51.3 cubic feet of cargo space, it doesn’t provide much utility. Critics are also split over its odd exterior styling. Because of these cons, the Accord Crosstour ranks near the bottom of its class.

Its still a pile. The only thing worth a damn are the drivetrain (maybe?) and the brakes. Everything else can get melted down and put back on the drawing board.

Is the drivetrain 8th gen accord compatible? Maybe we will see some AWD swapped 8th gens in a few years

Ya know what, I saw one on the road the other day and they aren't as bad looking in person as they are in pictures. I still wouldn't get one though!
