Crosstour = Fail
#41
When an article uses the term "plummeted" to describe a 1.9% loss, I tend to be somewhat dismissive of the rest of the article. That said, we'll see how it plays out.
I truly wish Honda would get some new, class-defining vehicles out, though. I still think they lead some segments - the Fit and the Civic are virtually untouched right now in their size and price classes and the Odyssey is still arguably the best van you can buy (and it's about to be released as a totally new design) - but I'm just not seeing anything that makes me say "Man, I want that vehicle."
Ford has me very interested in what they have coming out. GM has a few vehicles I'm curious about. Hyundai is always a threat as well. Honda? Meh - not much happening there. They need to step up their game.

There's a couple of problems with it in my opinion. I haven't driven one, but I sat in it and looked at while my S was being serviced. The pros...nicely finished interior even if the center console is festooned with lots of buttons.
But the rear three quarter visibility is obscured, similiar to the way it's tough to see out of the BMW X6. Also the storage space isn't the most practical. The bottom of the rear hatch tapers rather narrowly. (I do lots of triathlons, and I don't think the rear hatch is very user friendly. It would be tough to get my bike in and out of it.)
I would rather wait for the TSX Wagon...now that's a good looking car, other than the grill!

I like it and think it looks good. Its better than getting a Minivan IMO. Just do a fender roll, pull and flare, drop 3 inches and slap some 18" SSRs
Can someone do a quick photoshop of that?

I think the concept of an Accord wagon is great, but the Crosstour is an Accord hatchback with SUV wheels and tires.
Previous-gen Accord 2-door as a long-roofline hatch/sportwagon could have been a nice-looking car with a lot of utility.
And, sadly, few buyers.
