Thanks to HondaPro Jason, I found this article after his IG post.

What do you guys think? I personally get a Lexus/RangeRover vibe...

 

I think "D" must stand for "dumb."

 

For lack of a better term, I have to agree.

 

Honda designers of late need a vacation to reboot. This in no way is attractive.

 

i think the D stands for douchebag.

 

D for "Do-over".

 

so they took the cross tour and slap it with an ugly stick, made it even uglier.

 

D for dud??? That looks like a leftover prop from a 1980's Japanese space cop show. It also looks like an Accord Crosstour from 2050. I don't know which one is worse.

Honda seem so directionless now. Earth Dreams power trains are good but the Accord Hybrid isn't selling well, Acura is as good as dead and they think the NSX and Civic Turbo will fix things. It seems like Honda's passion packed up and moved over to Lexus.

 

From the article

 

Don't like it at all

 

LOL. While i dont think its not all THAT bad, i do get the Range Rover vibe here. Honda and especially Acura designers in general need to get their heads out of their asses and back in the game

 

Could not agree with you more there... I opened a thread on that topic too.. I do not believe the NSX and Civic type R will revive Honda of the 90s.. theyre pretty far gone IMO. In the market which Acura started, Lexus soon took over. While Acura still held its place against Lexus, Infiniti has now moved to take its place above Acura and Hyundai is on its way as well... goodbye Acura.. you will be missed unless you get your **** together in the next 3-5years.

 

who cares about the accord hybrid? the cr-v is selling better than fresh tim hortons donuts. (9th best selling vehicle in u.s. in march)

rdx, mdx, and new tlx are selling well and hugely revised ilx is much better. but keep believing it's dead.

yeah a beak became a spindle.
