WHAT'S NEW: With Accord Crosstour, Honda is testing the same waters as Acura has with its ZDX. The coupelike SUV is based on the Accord platform and can be expected to share powertrains with the sedan--minus manual, we expect. This crossover will likely match up with competitors like Toyota Venza and is rumored to provide more interior volume.
COOL FACT: Honda hasn't offered an Accord wagon since 1997--and this is much cooler.
SUM UP: because no one would buy an accord hatch.
