TORRANCE, California — Look for the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour to be priced higher than several of its key competitors when the new crossover arrives in showrooms on November 20. Honda said the 2010 Crosstour will start at $30,380, including a $710 destination charge, for the base 2WD EX model.

In comparison, the 2010 Toyota Venza, which received a $300 price increase for the new model year, still slots in below the Crosstour. The base 2010 Venza with a four-cylinder engine and FWD starts at $27,025, including a $750 destination charge. The 2010 Venza with AWD and a V6 starts at $30,300, including shipping.
Another one of Crosstour's Japanese competitors, the 2010 Nissan Murano S with a 3.5-liter engine and 2WD, starts at $28,850, including an $800 shipping charge.
A key domestic competitor, the 2010 Ford Edge, starts at $27,695, including a $775 shipping charge, for the 2WD model with a 3.5-liter V6.
All Crosstour models come standard with a 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 271 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

They would have to PAY ME to drive it! That is if Honda can get a transmission to get past the 8k mile mark without having to be replaced. Ironically they compare it to another abortion. The Nissan Murano.

If Chevy was still building the Monza. This is what it would look like today.

My God, that thing is hideous! Hard to decide what's worse, the bloated rear or bland, yet garish front. The tiny wheels don't help either. What's up with Honda styling? First the Civic, then Ridgeline, now this. Have they hired all the refugees from the Chrysler minivan styling department?

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have another Pontiac Aztek in our sights. Check out the "wonderful" comments that fans have put on the Honda Crosstour Facebook page. If this vehicle were a Detroit 3 product, the information above would have been 1/2 as long and filled with criticism.
