Honda joins wagon-van fray
Honda joins wagon-van fray with Accord Crosstour
Posted Wednesday, Jul 8, 2009, 11:03 am in Employee News
Following in the footsteps of Chrysler and Toyota, which fielded the Pacifica and Venza, Honda has announced that it will sell a vehicle it calls the Accord Crosstour beginning this fall as a 2010 model, Automotive News reported.
Honda declined to give additional specifics for the vehicle, which is not quite a wagon and not quite a crossover. It will be based on the Honda Accord platform, with a roofline higher than that of an Accord sedan but lower than that of an Odyssey minivan or Pilot crossover, the paper said.
Spy photos of the vehicle show two rows of seats, similar to the Venza, the Automotive News said. The photos also show two tailpipes, meaning the test mules likely carry the same 271-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine as the Accord, the story said. A source told the paper the vehicle will be built at Honda’s East Liberty, Ohio, assembly plant. (Automotive News)
