Ok... In every other market on earth this is simply a (JDM/Euro) Accord Wagon, but for the U.S. they're all of a sudden calling it a crossover? Utter Nonsense!

That is totally a station wagon, and they should call it that. Do they think that "station wagon" is a bad or demeaning term?

The picture in the article is the Euro Accord Wagon which is bascially a TSX and not the CUV that they mention.

No way is that a station wagon!!!!! It's a CUV,,,,, a Crossover!!!!
Sure, it looks like a station wagon, and has everything you would expect in a station wagon, but the Honda Marketing Dept has assured me that it is not a station wagon...

This is yet another disappointment from Honda. Such lackluster designs from Honda to Acura. What happened to leading designs and technology (S2000, CRX, Legend, NSX)? They are way too conservative. I would buy a Venza over this pile in a heart beat. Toyota typically produces cars that are far less than inspiring, but the Venza is pretty sweet looking (not so much from the front, mostly from side and rear).

Blame the europeans for this atrocity, they still behind the times and obsess with station wagons. Americans already 2 steps ahead, while them europeans aren't even into SUVs yet, we ready for some new shyt. Who gonna build us the next big thing?

Kay, Honda needs to step up their game... cause IMHO Hyundai's are surpassing them in almost every way. That's something that should NEVER happen. I hope this one turns out better looking than all of the others. I can't take seeing another pimped up station wagon riding on 20's.

until recently, i used to never understand all this prejudice against station wagons. people go for vans, SUVs, and trucks mainly for the HIGH RIDING POSITION and better view over traffic; and only secondarily for whatever other features offered. the marketing types of all brands have to come up with alternate names, 'cuz calling something a 'station wagon' is the kiss of death in america today.

Honda always seems to get board approval for ugly vehicles. It is like they don't have any taste? It sort of reminds me of GM not that long ago. Honda engineering cannot be matched though. I am certain that will always be their selling point, but style shouldn't be sacrificed and perhaps focus groups should be used, so the deciders can get feedback before they approve these homely designs?
