The Accord gets a lift into crossover territory.

2. It looks better in person.

We're not going to declare the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour a beautiful car. However, it does gain something in person that's lost in photos, and it looks pretty good from some angles. Yet the nose looks heavy, the rear quarters unduly bulbous, and the slightly raised ride height makes the car look more massive than it really is. On the other hand, there are some interesting design details, like the concave character line that gradually becomes the convex edge of the rear fender. Inside it's much better, essentially an Accord sedan with some tasteful (but fake) wood trim and nicer available leather.
