The new 2010 Honda Crosstour Review

This is going to be a very easy review. I was excited to hear that Honda was coming out with a crossover to compete with the Toyota Venza. The Venza never really did anything for me so it shouldn't have been tough to impress me with the Honda version. However, I was a little skeptic after they released the hideous Accord a couple of years ago. What a failure design that was.

So Honda unveils the new Crosstour and VOILA! EPIC FAIL.

EPIC

HONDA

What an ugly piece of shit. Who designed this? Was it a 4 year old with no arms and eyes? Seriously it looks nothing like the Euro Accord wagon we were expecting. Instead it looks like shit. Plain shit. No it's actually worse than that. Let's take a look at the car bit by bit shall we?

The front: What the hell is that grille doing? It looks like it wants to stick out 5 more feet from the front of the car. It has a little Chrysler Crossfire mixed with Ford Fusion except once mixed, it looks like shit. It looks like a fat sagging chin with a crooked smile. EPIC FAIL.

The side: The least offensive part until you get to the back sides. Look at the slope at the back of this car. You could run a ski jump off this thing! That probably takes away big time from the rear passenger head room. Why waste space in the name of "aesthetics"? The slope is a failure on the designers' part. Is it trying to look like the Infiniti FX? Oh how flattering. The difference is the Infiniti looks good.

The ass:


All I can is WOW. How hard can you fail there? What a designing flaw. What an ugly piece of shit ass end. Could be one of the ugliest ass ends I have ever seen (next to the Challenger of course). Simply wasted space and way too round. It is ugly ugly ugly. HIDEOUS.

EPIC

FAIL.

Sorry Honda, at the pace your designers are going I won't be putting you at the top of my shopping list anytime soon. It's pretty sad when Toyota makes a better looking car. I mean, TOYOTA? Come on.

I can't wait to see how they massacre the new Civic when it comes out. Maybe it will look like a Corolla except uglier? You can count on it.

So pricing hasn't been announced for it yet in Canada but based on Honda's track record, they will want to charge $35,000 CDN base for this $23,000 car. Fully loaded the car will go for $40,000 (real life value will be $29,000). I bet it will be more than the Venza. We will wait and see...

Dear Honda - maybe you should ask your customers their opinions BEFORE you piss away millions in designing what may be the ugliest car you've ever made? Based on early reactions, it appears as though over 80% of your faithful followers HATE the looks of this car. Just Google it and see for yourself...

Rating 2/10 (1 point for the wheels and another because there will be a 4-cyl option)
