2010 Honda Odyssey Touring Review

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed

With the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport making its U.S. debut at New York, Mitsubishi has a crossover it can offer starting at less than $20,000. At a length of 169.1 inches, the Outlander Sport is more of a Lancer-alternative than a true compact crossover along the lines of class leaders like the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape.inline_mediumwraptextright32813706/features/news/1003_2011_mitsubishi_outlander_sport2011-mitsubishi-outlander-sport-side.JPG.jpgTrue

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
I don't know for sure what to call the new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour and, frankly, neither do the company's reps. Halfway between a sedan and a wagon, the misleading configuration even hints at a coupe -- which it isn't. As for its massive, Grendizer-style nose, it looks like it was ripped off from some rugged 4x4. Why such a drag show? Full story...

Do Mitsubishi and Suzuki have something to learn from Subaru's success?

Just over a year ago, Subaru was a niche automaker known for quirky vehicles that often lacked direct competitors. Led by the Forester for 2009 and then with the Legacy sedan and Outback wagon for 2010, Subaru's product offerings have recently fallen in line with mainstream markets. Sales are still small in comparison to Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, but the company's products have proven to have serious appeal. While the auto industry hemorrhaged sales in 2009, Subaru's volume and market share increased.inline_mediumwraptextright28401619/reviews/driven/1003_japanese_crossover_suv_comparison1003_01_z+2010_subaru_outback_mitsubishi_outlander_suzuki_grand_vitara+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
