2010 Honda Accord Crosstour

When I was growing up, the station wagon seemed to be the way a family moved around.

I remember we had a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne Wagon that would now have qualified for the “Cash for Clunkers,”

but between the back and the luggage rack there was little we could not fit in it; though the ride was not the most comfortable from the pop-up third row seat.

Then came the Mini-Van, which every couple with children seemed to own.

I know my next door neighbor purchased a Honda Odyssey because it was the best, had the most amenities, and met the standard of the neighborhood.

I think I even caught some envious neighbors staring across their yards.

However, with the cost of gas fluctuating and America trying to go Green, it seems change is in the air.

At least according to Popular Mechanic’s Ben Stewart in an article he published nearly two years ago: The face of the American Family vehicle is changing again.

Have you heard the term CROSSOVER? Well, it is just that.

Take a sedan, add parts of the station wagon your parents loved and the Mini-Van you either rode in or drove, and “cross” them together.

So, will America really want the Crossover?

Honda is betting on it. The new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour by American Honda Company is the latest of crossovers to be announced. Not ready for a test drive yet (due out in November), the Crosstour has an upscale interior for 5 passengers and an innovative storage compartment in the rear. It sports a 3.5 liter i-VTEC V-6 engine and is even available in a four-wheel drive version.

With an aerodynamic exterior, the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) keeps the sporty, low-profile of the Accord.

The interior styling provides a wide body feel with systems inset into the panels and overall a very roomy feel.

The question remains, is this what America wants? Honda rarely makes a mistake, so I am betting this vehicle will be a winner.

I know I am going to be one of the first to run down to the store and take a ride. See you there!
