Judging from myriad spy photos snapped and posted in recent months, the Accord Crosstour bears a passing resemblance to the Acura ZDX that debuted earlier this year at the 2009 New York Auto Show, but the Temple of VTEC blog claims the two vehicles do not share a common platform.
Instead, as its name implies, the Accord Crosstour almost certainly shares all major underbody components with the Accord sedan. The 2010 Crosstour hatch is aimed at such rivals as the Toyota Venza.
Few powertrain details have emerged, but the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour will likely offer Honda's 3.5-liter V6 and four-wheel drive. Pricing will be announced later in the year.
Inside Line says: Not a particularly handsome vehicle, if the spy shots are accurate. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
