Do any of you guys want me to do a Crosstour review? I plan to check one out, just for my own curiosity, as a potential Outback competitor , as I did the Toyota Venza (and I did end up doing a Venza review and writing it up). I probably won't end up buying a Crosstour, but I'm interested to see how it stacks up against mid-sized AWD Subarus. I know many of you guys don't like that general type of body style......as indicated by the negative responses to the BMW X6, Acura ZDX, and the recent introduction of the BMW 550 GT.

Bu if it's for your own interest, we won't stop you.

I saw one on the highway tonight.

The rear end is just as disturbing as in the pictures.

I DO remember test-driving one back in the mid-70's, but that was a little before the days of the Internet......and personal data-bases.

I didn't think the car was quite as ugly as many in the auto press did, but to be honest (like with other AMC products of the period), I was not impressed with its overall quality and fit/finish, and the large glass area made it not only a goldfish bowl, but quite warm in the sun, too.

The crosstour is a interesting looking car, not as ugly as the X6 or the ZDX. Its a lot of car for the money. My biggest disappointment was no HID lights, just halogen projectors. I suppose one can always buy a aftermarket HID kit.

Yes, but on a technicality. I just got done reviewing the new 550 GT (Grand Tourismo), which, though marketed as a 5-series, is in fact a 7-series derivitive...it uses the 7-series platform, Turbo 4.4L V8 (believe me, that is quite an engine), and a new 8-speed automatic.
