New Car Deals for February 2012: Crossover SUVs

A crowded segment spells decent deals on selected car-based crossovers this month. This is particularly true of seven-passenger crossovers that seem to be losing steam in the marketplace. Perhaps it’s because the baby boomers’ kids have gone off to college or are forming families of their own, but the real action in this segment is among five-passenger midsize and sporty compact models. Every crossover SUV in our list is worthy transportation, with the oddball being the curiously styled Acura ZDX, which trades much of its utility for the sake of appearance.
