Yuck. Then again I really don't like any wagon so I may be a bad judge.

If you took off the Honda logos and the Honda style headlights, I'd believe that was a Chrysler product.

 

Lmfao!!!!!

 

2010 Accord Crosstour Styling Conceals Surprising Versatility


Next evolution of the crossover offers CUV attributes while maintaining a premium sedan feel and a sporty, bold appearance




TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour evolves the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) concept by integrating a sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.


"Our concept is to broaden the appeal of the Accord line-up by leveraging traditional Accord strengths of fun-to-drive performance and handling while also adapting to dramatic shifts in the light truck marketplace," said Erik Berkman, vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The Accord Crosstour accomplishes that by offering a modern interpretation of a CUV while integrating the refinement and efficiency of a premium sedan."


Derived from the Accord Sedan, the Accord Crosstour maximizes car-like ride and refinement, yet maintains capabilities consistent with a CUV's increased ride height and all-weather potential. The Accord Crosstour's styling builds on the Accord's familiar character lines and adds a bolder front grille complemented by a durable lower-body appearance, wedge-shaped C-pillars and an aggressive rear stance. The flowing roofline narrows smoothly into the rear of the vehicle to create an aggressive-looking design, which conceals a unique cargo area that can adapt to large objects that exceed the capacity of a sedan.


"We know SUV buyers like the commanding view of the road that comes with a high eye-point and like the comforts of living with an SUV," said Berkman. "This vehicle meets the needs of buyers looking for those attributes yet at the same time want an image that is different from a conventional SUV."


The Accord Crosstour will be positioned at the top of the Accord family when it goes on sale in fall 2009. Additional details will be announced later in the year.

Honda ZDX got it.

 

Seriously how can they make UGLIER vehicles at this point. That is so ugly its not even funny. THe SUV front end and the curved rear are at total odds.
This also has AWD right? Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Any interior pics?



I think Honda should have named it an independent car.

I mean, I know the Venza is a Camry wagon, but having its own name makes it unique and separate. The interior also is vastly superior to the Camry.

The general public will see Accord wagon, not a "crosstour". They will be underwhelmed if there is no significant distinction from the sedan.

 

Pwned. End of story.

 

Is this model a JOKE????

 

Honda even copied the Venza wheels.

 

I'm in a mixed bag with regards to whether I like it or not.

On one hand, I can say that the wheel design as well as the rear-end is to my liking and yet the front-end ruins it (like the Toyota Venza with its horrifying rear end).

Still undecided on this one.

However
For me, this is actually a strong point. Heck, I guess I'm only one of the few people here who believe that Honda/Acura should continue pursuing SH-AWD as their primary drivetrain hehe

 

For the second time this morning...

 

I think this will be a pretty good seller actually. Combining all the advantages of an SUV with a sedan. Will satisfy those that want the extra room but dont want a minivan or SUV. I'm a little iffy on the looks, but I have a feeling this might look better in person, especially in a different color with different wheels. Honda's usually have a pretty refined look in real life.

 

What? Honda basically succeeded in making a cheaper, uglier version of the ZDX.

They just copied & pasted the press release from the ZDX. It's sad the Civic Coupe is the best looking car in Honda's current lineup.

 

shuddering in disgust

yep, pretty lame of them to borrow those wheels

for me, even the odyssey is more desirable than this
