What you’re looking at are the first spy shots of a an Accord-based Crossover that Honda is working on as a rival to the new Toyota Venza.

Insiders say the crossover is based on the European-only Accord Tourer wagon but will be heavily influenced by the U.S. market Accord’s design.

Power for the crossover could from the same 2.4L 4-cylinder and the 3.5L V6 from the current Accord along with Honda’s VTM-4 all-wheel-drive system.

What’s surprising to us is that the prototype is hardly wearing any camouflage...

I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

The Toyota only has five seats! Why not a third row? It's big for a 5 seater.
