| First Look: 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour (Crossover0
 
* Competes with: Toyota Venza, Subaru Outback, Nissan Murano
* Looks like: Acura’s penchant for ugly grilles has infected Honda
* Drivetrain: Likely the same 3.5-liter V-6 as the Accord sedan
* Hits dealerships: Fall 2009
We knew Honda was bringing a new crossover — based on the Accord — to market relatively soon. The company even teased an up-close image of its grille. Today, we get to see the full monty, and it could have stood some shrinkage.
There’s just no discussing this car without tackling its huge schnoz. Not only is it oddly shaped, but it doesn’t fit the natural flow of the car’s front end. Follow the lines of the headlights and notice how they smash right into the grille. It’s disjointed to say the least and unfortunate in an extreme sense since the rest of the car looks fairly decent. We have images of the Crosstour grille and the standard Accord sedan grille below.
Full specs haven’t been revealed yet. A special web page for the Crosstour hints at more in 34 days; we’re not sure if that’s for more information or the on-sale date. Honda is known for putting an all-new model on sale the same day they release full details to the press, and it’s possible that the Crosstour will go on sale on Oct. 2.
How else does it differ from a typical Accord sedan? Honda says it will ride higher, like an SUV, to give a commanding view of the road. Obviously, the rear hatch will offer more utility than a sedan trunk; Honda calls it a “unique” cargo area, but doesn’t offer any specific details about it.
If you want to follow the Crosstour on Facebook, maybe you’ll learn more along the way. Check out the new page here. For the rear — and much better-looking — angle of the Crosstour.

^ should be reverse jizzed back into my balls lol
neither the euro nor the NA version looks great. The Euro has great looking dash, that's all about it. The new Mazda 6 wagon looks much better than that.
this one looks like an old man  | |

Do you guys think they designed this thing for young kids to drive? they designed it for old guys and gals who want to sit up high, ingress and egress easily, and get good fuel economy....do you think the big car companies are dumb? The marketplace is changing.

^I think theres enough of that in the market right now, and packaged better too
and honda is just slipping with their design and engineering in the market
At least it carries recent honda fad of wheels that make a car look to tall, gas guzzling V6s,
Inefficient coupeish design that doesn't help in terms of style or practicality, at least the X6 looks kinda funky and aggressive
Design kinda looks like they modelled it off a backwards croc shoe...
I don't know how they managed to ruin the excellent looking accord this much
