Title: Accord Crossover
Post by: mnkyman on August 12, 2009, 06:48:26 PM
iono if this has been discussed yet or not but I got a email from my dealer mentioning a new accord crossover:

I find it funny that they announce it but then show nothing about it...

Looks like/reminds me of a Toyota Venza (aka Camry wagon) The rear of the Honda looks mean.

Think it looks like ass. I just hate cross overs though, except the Venza, There is just something about it I like. The Venza seems more luxurious where this looks rugged. The Venza is very Lexus like IMO, especially the inside. It's so much like the 2010 RX.
I think this looks soo much better

I never really liked how crossovers look. It's like taking a regular car, raising the ceiling, then jacking up the body and put it on SUV wheels.

It looks like an accord and a crv welded together.

It looks like hammered dog shit if you ask me. Crossovers are just another way for automakers to make SUVs but on a smaller scale. Kind of how you see those idiotic Donks. Getting a car, lifting it and slapping on truck wheels.

Here are some more/different pics of the spy shots taken of the Accord Crosstourer

there are two types of spy shots out there, one looking like the euro wagon and one resembling the BMW X6 rear.

Dude, I was born and raised in Miami. I didn't come up here until two years ago. In Miami, there's all kinds of variations of those shits. Back OT, it looks like a bag of smashed assholes. As for the Venza, I thought it looked pretty cool in the commercials until I saw one in person, then I realized my mistake. It rolls into the smashed assholes category with this pile of steaming hot feces.

Dear Honda,

We want a wagon, or that sick-looking Odyssey.

Thank you,

I got an email saying they finally released all the information on this ugly POS here is the link.

Post by: slipkord on November 04, 2009, 03:39:40 PM
They took the concept and made it even ulgier!!!  The rear end looks like the old civic hybirds. PUKE man puuuuure puke!!

Base model starts at $29,670 and 4WD EX-L boosts it up only to $34,020. Way to much for a crossover POS. Even if it does have realtime AWD with a 3.5L 271HP.

Fuck that.  I'll get a CR-V and build the motor. :thumbdown:


Title: Re: Accord Crossover

I'll take that 3.5L engine and stuff it in my Coupe


Title: Re: Accord Crossover
Post by: CrackerTeg on November 06, 2009, 09:02:32 PM
I'd take that 3.5L and stuff it in the wife's TL witha 6 spd conversion. Then she'll have no choice BUT to learn to drive a manual.

Post by: rajin929 on November 08, 2009, 04:19:10 PM
heard that Honda will bring the Euro Accord Tourer over to North America and sell it under the Acura brand as a TSX wagon

if they do I'm going to convince the wifey to get rid of her Mazda 3 sedan so we can move up into this and pimp it out with JDM parts...LOL

Well Mitch, since you decided to bring this back I'm going to say that I finally saw one on the road the other day and I swear I almost threw up in my mouth at the sight of it. This particular vehicle is an epic fail from the Honda design team.


Title: Re: Accord Crossover
Post by: timot_one on February 03, 2010, 08:20:25 AM
Funny how I had the same reaction when I saw one too.

yep. I test drove one at the local stealership, I'm on the market for an SUV. I think the sales guy was offended at my remarks about the grill and rear styling. I probably wont be hearing back from him.

Well, if he was offended, that means he needs to grow a damn sack.


Title: Re: Accord Crossover
Post by: Rich01 on February 03, 2010, 09:04:17 PM
A good sales rep would have had you convinced so much that you had to buy it regardless of how horrible it looks :lol:

Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on February 05, 2010, 08:53:08 AM
sat in one at autoshow yesterday. dont like how small back windows is. trunk space doesnt seem to be that much bigger then accords. kinda useless as a car except for all wheel drive thing but is it all time all wheel drive or useless like in CR-v thats used just for stability at high speed
