Just got me a "special private notice" email from my local Honda dealer
about a new crossover based on the Accord platform-- called the Crosstour
that will hit the showrooms this fall.

Yep, sure is nice to be such an important customer that they told me about
it ahead of notifying the unwashed masses....

Every time I hear that term "crossover", I am reminded of an old

the rear facing seat in the back. Same thing with a higher center of
gravity.
