back to the future with Honda

We have owned a few Honda's... and here's one we probably won't be owning...
the new Accord Crossover

Price tag (just under $30k)
When I first saw it advertised, I knew I had seen its predecessor before...when I was 9 years old.

 Price (probably around $6400 new)

Introduced in 1980, the Eagle became one of the company's best-known products and is considered one of the first "crossover SUVs". It had a Concord body shell mounted on an all-new platform that had been developed by American Motors in the late 1970s. Featuring an innovative full-time four-wheel drive system, it sold best in snow-prone areas. Sales started strongly but declined over time. The Eagle survived, albeit only in station wagon form, into the 1988 model year. The last one was built on December 14, 1987. (source)
