So it's smaller than the Venza, has less cargo than the Venza, isn't as good looking as a Venza, and utilizes a standard Accord interior. And the cargo hold below holds one small tiny overnight bag and a water bottle. LOL. Notice how much room there is on top. If the duffel bag takes up that much space below, it takes up half the floor space if placed above. Oh man, what a FAIL. But what am I saying, people will buy it because its a Honda. LOL!My Matrix is smaller, gets better MPG, has AWD, and holds more than this thing.

Still not feeling the love. I predict it sells about 20% less than the Venza and sticks around for two years.Meanwhile, that CR-Z! I'd make that my commuter.

Price may also be an issue for this car as Honda announced it will sit at the top of the Accord lineup with no 4 cylinder option. A base 2.4L would probably have attracted buyers that would not want a fully loaded model.

Yeh - with a 2007 T&C and a 2009 Vibe both driven lightly (less than 5,000 miles per year) I am out of the market for a few, maybe several, years anyway so I am just an observer at this point. But I like to keep up on what's out there.

I also agree that no offering of a base 2.4L 4cyl model is a mistake. They can put a nice AWD system in the Element with the 2.4L and yet cannot do this with the Crosstour?Honda has really been missing the mark for me. They have made so many mistakes in what they could offer, and their engine/drivetrain pairings have been lackluster to me. Especially when they put the V6 in the TSX, when the car and the clientelly CLEARLY wanted to have the 2.4L turbo with AWD added as an option.

wow the back hatch looks tiny unless you are loading in grocery bags... I think there is more room in a C30 volvo. Whats the price on that? 25-30k? meh its more than a sports wagon or a plain wagon type vehicle with more room...Ive never liked honda anyway..

Not that I am a fan of the new Accord, it doesnt fit the bill for me in design. But this should be the Accord Crosstour. And given that the current Euro Accord Tourer is based on the 2006 TSX body style, I would imagine this could be a future Honda model coming soon. It is based on the larger US Spec Accord so I would assume it is coming, just can't find info on it other than pictures.

are they trying to make it a subaru outback? hahha its becoming a mini x-over looking thing.. odd
