Honda Cars : Honda Accord Crosstour on Vossen Wheels | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Wow.... Very nice.

It’s extremely rare that you find an original idea in the automotive world when everybody is stuck making the same cars. This unsuccessful but very interesting Honda is different from all other cars on the road.

It’s the Accord Crosstour and it’s supposed to combine elements of coupe, crossover and sedan. Normally, that would spell out Frankenstain’s monster, but in white, with huge wheels, it’s pretty awesome.

The huge wheels in question are the 20-inch CV3 concave ones from Vossen. These completely change the look of the car in combination with a lowered ride hight and what appears to be increased camber.

Notice the aggressiveness of this setup, how the concave rims extend all the way to the wheel lips. That’s what we call bagging a car. This Crosstour is equipped with Ksport coilovers using parts from various Accord sedan/coupes and is lowered around 4-4.5 inches.

Honda Cars : Honda to make crossover vehicle at Ohio plant | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

EAST LIBERTY, Ohio
The Honda Motor Co. says a plant in western Ohio will be the production site for the automaker's new crossover utility vehicle.
Honda of America President Hidenobu Iwata (hee-DUH'-no-boo i-WAH'-tuh) said Thursday that the Honda Accord Crosstour will be built at the East Liberty plant that now produces the CR-V and the Element.
The Crosstour is a tallish, five-passenger wagon-like SUV based on a mid-size sedan. It goes into production this fall. Honda officials would not say how many will be manufactured.
Production is not expected to result in any new jobs at the plant that employs about 2,400.
The engines will be supplied by Honda's engine plant near Anna and the transmissions from the automaker's plant near Russells Point.

Honda Cars : Honda Drops Accord Crosstour Teaser Shot, Begins Countdown | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Having already confirmed the name of its new Accord-based crossover, Honda is now starting the promotional campaign for the Crosstour with the release of the first teaser shot. It will be followed by more cryptic photographs over the next 11 days as the Japanese automaker wants to build some hype around the crossover prior to the vehicle's official unveiling on September 1st. The first image shows the Crosstour's front grille which is different than the one found on the Accord Coupe and Sedan models - if you just whispered 'big deal' no worries, we agree with you 100 per cent...

Previous spy shots suggest that the Accord Crosstour looks like something that we'd feel comfortable describing as a "poor man's" BMW 5-Series GT featuring an elongated hatch and a sleek roofline.

We're still in the dark when it comes to powertrain options but Honda recently announced that the Accord Crosstour will go on sale in the U.S. this fall. More to come shortly.
