Here in the Northeast, our 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour was the only example we saw on the road, and as a result, it garnered lots of attention. Friends and family were the first to speak up with impressions, which ranged from “Is that a Prius? Or a hybrid?” to various comments about what was perceived as awkward rear styling. Later in the week, we stopped by our veterinarian’s office to get some dog food and recorded thumbs-up for the Crosstour’s front-end design; a park ranger we spoke with put his hand on his chin and simply stated, “It looks big for a Honda.” Take that how you will. Finally, we talked with the owner of a convenience store/gas station who sees all sorts of vehicles pass through each day, and learned that he was less than pleased with what he called a “wedge-like” rear design. No word on whether his wife, who bases her impressions solely on headlight styling, could be considered a Crosstour fan.
