Yes LOL.  Two cars you would be very hard pressed to see side by side in any normal circumstance, especially with like what 10 of each sold?  Lol

I picture the guy in the Crosstour stepping out of his car, looking at the ZDX and thinking "Niiiiiiiiiice.".

Oddly enough, I've been noticing quite a few Crosstours on the road recently.

What's even more odd is that I'm starting to think they look not too bad.

I don't mind the ZDX.  And IIRC, some testers took it REALLY off road and it did very well.

My parents got a great deal on a used CrossTour recently. Say what you will about the exterior styling, but the inside is gorgeous and very comfortable. Not a vehicle I personally would spend $40,000 on, but a very nice ride nonetheless.

I actually kind of like the ZDX, though again, I'd probably never buy one.

I like the ZDX, but pricey  The 2012 base TSX automatic is excellent.

I don't like either in light colors as the black bar in the back stands out, but in darker colors, I'm always surprised at how great these cars look, especially the ZDX. Most people usually hate something that's different, so it's not surprising most hate the look of these... me, I quite like them. Then again, I thought the Aztec looked cool.

Yeah, the Crosstour is hideous regardless of anything. I could understand, at least a little bit, someone thinking the ZDX is attractive.........it just doesn't make sense as a concept.

ZDX is okay and I would toss in the BMW X6 into this odd category of vehicle.

I'm a honda guy and big surprise I like the look of these two ... umm, from the rear. I especially like the ZDX's wider tail likes. It's from the front that these two look fugly. The bulging nose/hood and longish over-hangs kills the styling. Seems like everyone is piling on to say how ugly it is because everyone else says it's ugly.

You always hear how regular non-car enthusiasts hate hatchback/wagons cause they sell in so few numbers and it's the car enthusiasts who come to the defense of hatchback/wagons. They build them and all we hear from you guys/girls are how ugly it is. So I can come to only one of two conclusions. Car enthusiast don't actually like hatchbacks/wagons. Or you guys/girls aren't really car enthusiasts.  ::)

I own a hatchback. These aren't hatchbacks....they should be wagons.....but instead they are some sort of horrible combination of what these car companies think people want.

Take precise engineering, tarmac-tested performance and plenty of established street cred and let it loose: The outcome is the new 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI. Pure performance cars like nothing else on the road today. Both models now offer a 4-door sedan or 5-door sport wagon


It says nothing about a hatch, time to learn about the car you drive  :rofl2:

All Honda has to do to remedy this is  dump both of these things and bring the TSX wagon.  One with the 2.4 & FWD (RWD would be nice, but "ya, right...") and a 3.5 V6 AWD version.  
Why Honda/Acura chose to bring the wagon to US only is one of those great mysteries in life.  Anyone know if Acura is selling any of those wagon in US?

Adding AWD would be too much $.

V6 TSX isn't a huge seller...so a 4cyl FWD TSX wagon with both Auto and Manual transmissions would be fine in Canada.
