The Honda Crosstour, one of the homeliest vehicles on the road and a sad substitute for the Accord Tourer that other markets get, is dead. Pour one out for the Crosstour tonight, if you feel so inclined.

The news of the death of the Crosstour (née Accord Crosstour) comes from its hometown newspaper the Columbus Dispatch. They report that the 2016 model year is the last for the Crosstour as Honda frees up capacity at their Marysville, Ohio plant to make other models.

Rest in peace, Crosstour. At least you came in brown.

Nothing in that car seemed appealing to me sef. The design is just ugly!

The acura zdx is a cool car, likewise the venza. I still don't get why their productions are coming to an end.

Denn:


We buy them used.

The people who buy them new don't really want them as evidenced by the low sales (annual sales of venza was a bit like the monthly sale of the camry)

So, our decisions don't really count until we start controlling manufacture and volumes of new vehicles.

Just read this on Jalopnik - http://jalopnik.com/dead-honda-crosstour-1696567853



It all started off with the Acura So-Ugly-I-Forget-its-Name, then the Venza was called into the great Automotive Heaven Hell, And the latest victim is the Crosstour.

I can already hear the screams of several Nigerians who loved the ugly misshapen Wagonoid.

I for one am pleased that that craze seems to be dying off.

Shout off in the comments below if you are dismayed or happy that its gone.

First it was the Acura ZDX (though I wish it had stayed as that car looks weird but unique), then Venza and now Crosstour. Could it be there's not enough market for these tall wagons (I know some will call them cuv or SUV but in reality they are tall wagons).

Bossforeva:
hehe, remember R-Class also died but u think same will be heard of Panamera?

lonelydora:
Shape wise I prefer Venza but interior wise I choose Crosstour. I won't even miss any of them.



Rest in peace ZDX, VENZA, CROSSTOUR.

Shagati:
Uglyasfvck car.

Glad it is gone.
Sad thing is someone somewhere will replace it with equal or surpassed hideousness.

Originalsly:
Good riddance...Crosstour had to be a mistake. See a lot of Venza...seem to be getting more popular...the latest model is so much more sleek and appealing than the first....getting rid of that one I don't agree!

Infact i never liked the cross tour neither did i cherish the venza

Becaus thy are actually the same as the camry and accord
..
But the venze still looks better
The bck side of d cross_tour is dumb

abatically:


Toyota venza is different from Camry. But Honda crosstour is basically an accord wagon and Honda didn't deny that, the official name is Honda accord crosstour. The interior, engine, drive train is the same with same year accord except for the awd versions.

Readonee35L:


I gt ur point...
But the venza is almost d same
Little chnges in d interior
And maybe drive terrain
They evn share d same v6 engine

lungwun:


Everything Toyota makes that has a V6 (sans the trucks) shares that 11 year old V6 engine.

Toyota has been using the same engine developed in 2004-2005 till date.

Hey Toyota, how about creating a new engine? Maybe something with a turbo in it?

Toyota doesn't innovate at all. I remember them using the same 4 speed auto transmission in the corolla up to the 2013 model year.

How wont they be reliable when they keep using old things?

Readonee35L:




Bro
...they might look the same
But there re diffrences as thy produce newer editions
More hp and they tend too fix the flaws of previous editions.... like the strip Head bolt on the 03 camry...

But the engines will still fit into each other . Not only toyota
..HONDA shares same engine on
The accord.
Pilot
Odyssey
Cross-tour
Ridge-line
And the acura variants too

Kashif:
the reliability of the 2GR-FE has been improved on over the years....

I would like to know another engine that combines its power with efficiency.

lungwun:

Very easy answer, BMW N20B20 (the 180kw version)
Try again?

Kashif:


180 kW (245 PS; 241 hp) @ 5000

That is the power from the N20B20. It still does not match the 2GR-FE's 269 hp. Next?

lungwun:

Lmao! Now ask yourself, Don't you find it strange 269Hp propels a Camry to 60 at 5.7-5.8 seconds whilst 240hp propels a 3 series to 60 in 5.5 seconds?
Everyone (well, except you) knows BMW is rather conservative with HP figures. So their 240hp is more powerful and efficient than Toyota's 269hp.
Let me even break it down further for you. The Camry (XV50) weighs 1,551 kg and the North American 328 (F30) weighs 1570kg.
So, the heavier, under-powered BMW is faster than the lighter Camry in both 0 - 60 sprints and quarter mile times.
What were you saying about efficiency again?
