How to make the Honda Accord Crosstour even more disturbing


The 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour is arguably one of the ugliest beasts to beat up the streets in a long time. From its too-high stance to its odd, bulbous profile and protruding grille, the look is wrong on many levels.

For one Massachusetts driver, though, Honda's own design wasn't quite wrong enough. No, this misguided owner took his Crosstour from pretty ugly to downright terrifying, all with the simple application of badges and decals. Starting with an ill-advised Type R badge up front, the madness didn't stop until there were matching Apple decals adorning the rear deck.

In between, the front and rear got red Type R-style Honda emblems, red pinstriping and, as if all that weren't enough, what appears to be a "V6" badge on the grille – you know, to flaunt the 3.5-liter underhood.

I honestly don't think it's attractive, but far from ugly. The badging on the other hand is eew

It's not uglier than a normal Crossturd, if you are color blind.

Just when you think the Crossturd couldn't get uglier...I'm surprised there were no DUB 22" badges on the sides or I <3 My Honda stickers. There's no hiding ugly at its worse, even if the plate was jumbled.

I love how he added the ubiquitous Apple stickers just for good measure.

That high stance is there for a reason. It is not supposed to be a low-slung sport-sedan or sports-car, but, like the rival Outback and Venza, a higher-than-normal stance AWD wagon with plenty of deep-snow clearance.

the front and rear got red Type R-style Honda emblems, red pinstriping
Here, I agree. Doing something silly like this is like a minor-league football team trying to wear NFL-team colors.
