Actually, I think the rear view looks terrible. It looks ungainly and cobbled together. Nothing cohesive about it.

The side-view actually looks good to me and I almost like it. The rear looks the leas bulbous in that shot. But the front overhang looks enormous!

My reasoning for saying the rear view is a good angle is that it hides the rear mass. It also shows off some dramatic, sporty lines going down the side of the car. I do agree, though, with that K-car-based-midsize amount of overhang.

I like the size of it.....

Why does the front look like an Avalon?

No this looks like a whale.



Well OK, maybe the Honda does too. But not as bad. It's just the back 1/3 of the MKT they screwed up. I like the rest of it.

Re: Honda Creates Crosstour Instead Of Accord Wagon

I found the spec's online, last night.
Who is the intended customer? Families?
It is obvious that this is on the Accord platform buy why couldn't they add a couple of inches to the rear seat legroom?
The front has plenty of space. The rear? it may as well be the Civic.
