Does anyone on this forum like, at least a little bit, this thing? Just curious...

I like it, I think recent Honda designs will age well. Time will tell.

The sad reality is that the Honda cult will buy anything with that logo on the grille (and pay an inflated price to boot) regardless of how bad it looks. As examples I offer you the Ridgeline and the Element, both of which make this thing look like a design masterpiece. Until the uninformed get over this "Honda is God" mindset that has been perpetuated, Honda can excrete stuff like this and it will still sell.

Yikes.  Honda must have been using the same Acura TL designers.

Looks like Honda going after the Venza.  :)

They added a few more shots here, and now it is obvious (IMHO) that from whatever angle you shoot it you'd better shoot it dead. I have no doubt for general public's amusement they will put a dozen or two on the road, but boy how nasty and immature does this thing look compared to a Magnum or the Caddy:

Looks MUCH better in these pics:

Minds the original, The other one is a fake.  :P

Funny it looks like Insight from the back. Only bloated. I wonder if is based off the same platform. I don't mind the design. Just shorten the bonnet and it would look less front heavy. :)

Not sure if you're joking...the Insight is built off of the Fit platform, and the Accord Crosstour is built off of the (drumroll) Accord platform.

Just when the nausea was beginning to settle down from the first pictures, you had to go and post more...  :P

Saw one in the flesh today outside the local Honda store. :hurl:

I just don't get it. If you need this type of vehicle why not go and buy an AWD station wagon.
