For those who HATE the new Honda Accord Crosstour....

It appears that Acura will be importing the European Accord Wagon http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/30/u-s-acura-tsx-sport-wagon-not-motivated-by-honda-crosstour-feed/

I like it truthfully. It looks pretty sweet imo. THe front headlights are from the TSX. They made an accord wagon from 1990 to 1997 but it did not go so well. I think my dad was talking about buying one and why not. I think they look cool.

[ziegs2020]

It will also have the Acura mug... which should completely ruin it :P

[Unoriginalusername]

the acura version looks a lot better than the crosstour. Don't know what you mean about the acura mug ruining it, looks good IMO

[Thrizzl3]

a wagon might be my next car haha

[McGuyver_3]

the front looks very stylish just the rear looks like a kia LOL

[MAZDA Kitten]

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove wagons. I've been waiting for this thing to come over. ABOUT TIME

[McGuyver_3]

I thought you were in to vdubs :P
chuckle

[dreadlock]

Wagon's all the way! New Acura is a lil more slick than the honda...but still looks sick!

[jaimie08mazda3]

That Acura has the EXACT same front end as my mom's TSX. Im going to go speak to my father about getting rid of the MDX for that thing... gooorgeouss

[McGuyver_3]

Yeah honda and acura seem to have that problem they have the same front ends and when you buy a acura part it comes shipped in a honda bag. This is based on what i have heard though but it is funny

[jaimie08mazda3]

It is extremely true. My dad got the bra for the TSX and it came in a honda bag. But either way they both make excellent cars thus why my dads been buying them since 82

[McGuyver_3]

No doubt about it they do make excellent cars just acura throws in that classy feel by that i mean like leather and xenons and navigation and stuff like that but therefor it is the luxury version

[froggy]

they should be smart and bring the diesel over here. It would bring a lot of other customers over who only really have vw and some mercedes diesels as options

[McGuyver_3]

yes diesel would be an awesome idea even mazda should bring over the diesels i would swap my gas motor in a heart beat lol Sure i may sacrifice speed but diesels always work well with a turbo :chuckle

[Ex-Rolla]

Fugly!!!

The TSX sold here IS the Euro-spec Accord. They, Honda, never discontinued the sale of wagons/estates/tourers on the old continent. A major piss-off for me as I've always loved wagons especially if they came with a turbo diesel engine.

i thought this was the Accord Crosstour.

I think that was the fail

[fatsock]

Looks pretty sweet to me, and it's a Honda!

[Ex-Rolla]

based on articles i have read, the problem is who the target audience is. Less interior room than a Vezna, Murano, higher ride height than the accord, camry etc, but lower than the Vezna, CRV, Murano etc...

It doesn't fit anywhere.... the sloped roof in the rear really hampers interior volume (which is what a lot of people look at when deciding on this type of car) and you don't get the "feel" of driving an SUV type of car.

And i REALLY think it's ugly lol... reminds me of that subaru... the one with a pickup bed. Seems like it has an identity crisis.

[Rob23]

this is a perfect car for somone with a family that still wants high performance, id deffinatly buy somthing like that if i really needed extra room. i hate SUVs. i think both the honda and acura version look gorgeous.

I really like it. I'd get one next time!

[Axelarate]

reminds of the chrysler crossfire.

[jaimie08mazda3]

If I show my father that.. Guaranteed that will be next in the driveway. God people call our driveway a car lot haha.

[Unoriginalusername]

How does this remind you of a crossfire? The crossfire is a two seater sports car. Even if you meant to say pacifica they still don't look anything alike imo

Its the way the roof flows through the back. I know the crossfire is a 2 door. I didnt say they look exactly alike. I only said it reminds me of. Big difference!


I can see where you get that.

Thank you! At least you know what Im talking about. :)

[craigrodrigues88]

I've seen the car in person at the dealership I work at and it looks pretty awesome! I would most definitely buy one!

[dragons4life]

if someone on here actually buys a Honda Crosstour...please shoot yourself. However the new Outlander is alot better looking, since its going with its shark looking front end used on the lancer and EVO. Just like how Mazda is doing, applying happy faces to some of there line up of cars with face changes lol.
