2010 Honda Accord Crosstour AWD; Day 1
« on: January 05, 2010, 09:34:57 pm »


James takes the wheel of a controversial vehicle this week: the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. It's not the fact that it's a crossover that makes it controversial, but the styling, though James assures us that it looks better in person than in photos.

Looks like what a NA sized Mazda6 hatchback would have looked like.

Kill it with fire.

Do you think that would be enough?

Nice.  ;D

Thing is, if you can get past the looks, this is a really nice car to drive. Loads of cargo space, too, despite the slope-y hatch.

It's a great car.  North Americans just don't get hatches. .

I get hatches.  Crossover-hatches, not so much.

I generally love hatches and have owned several. This one is just plain ugly to me in a platypus sort of way.

You could use those eulogy examples at any time

If you have been handed the intimidating job of writing a eulogy for your cherished one's funeral service, you will likely want to read an eulogy sample or two. Actually, the faster you can get your hands on to review, the better ready you will be for establishing the suitable tone and theme for your personal cherished one's eulogy.
 
It is never easy to summarize an entire life and legacy in one single, heartfelt speech. But by reviewing an eulogy sample - pinpointing what truly speaks to you and ruling out what may not be as fitting inside your specific conditions - you will be sure to capture the appropriate tone. Keep in mind the eulogy to be as unique because the dearly departed. Just simply because some situation is included in an example you have study does not always mean that it should be integrated in the funeral speech that you're composing. Give some thought as towards the type of service you are holding for your cherished one. Remember about your cherished one's character, and the emotions of your fellow mourners. If the recently deceased was known for his pervasive sense of humor, maybe a joke could be fitting. Otherwise, you might wish to get some other's opinions on what aspects to get from any particularly touching instance you've read.

I saw a dark coloured one 2 days ago and I wanted to gouge my eyes out. Whether it looks good in person is a subjective thing...and I really didnt like it that much. I prefer looking at the boxy Pontiac Aztec thank this. The interior, however, is another story :)

I have seen one parked outside my local dealer.  Did not take a close look.  However, if they could get rid of that pedestrian impact friendly fat nose the rest of the shape could be saved... I think.

As for nuking it from orbit.  Just a slim wooden stake, dipped in blessed soy sauce through the heart will work.
