Honda fans, your Accord wagon is almost here. Honda has dropped the first official photos and details of its 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, which the automaker is billing as crossover-like vehicle with a "sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality." In other words, it’s an Accord wagon they don’t want to call a wagon.
The Crosstour is not surprisingly built off of the Accord platform, with exterior differences including a bigger and bolder four-slat front grille, wedge-shaped C-pillars, and a sloped rear that ends with the Crosstour’s large rear hatch area. Honda is billing the hatch and cargo area as offering more versatility than the sedan -- pretty much the main reason for its existence.
Of course, it will have a higher ride height, more ground clearance, etc. All the buzz words you hear when discussing a crossover. Expect the Crosstour -- which is being positioned at the top of the Accord range -- to come with Honda’s 3.5-liter V-6 and AWD when it hits Honda dealers in the next few months.
