Introduction

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is further proof that there's no automotive segment that can't be cut into even smaller pieces. The Crosstour is a 4-door hatchback version of the Accord, and with its slightly raised ride height and available all-wheel drive, Honda gets to call it a crossover. Aimed at empty nesters and young families, do its merits as a roomy, cargo-centric and more-refined Accord outweigh its ungainly shape? Honda invited us for a test drive to find out. We found the Crosstour to be a nice driver, and think that Honda will probably sell the 40,000 copies it says it will each year. But it's not all roses, so here are the 10 things you need to know about the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour.
