J2D Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Didn't ford originally use the crosstour name for either the escape or freestyle years ago before changing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneekr Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Didn't ford originally use the crosstour name for either the escape or freestyle years ago before changing it? That was the CrossTrainer, actually. On a side note, do auto company employees who name vehicles do so after a three martini lunch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, do auto company employees who name vehicles do so after a three martini lunch? which made the car sound like a sneaker. although, the inital photos and such made the car appear more like a Subaru fighter. In which case Crosstrainer wasn`t so bad. But on a full size, heavy wagon, not such a good name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoser768 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It looks like a Sebring humped a Caliber and this is what came out of the Caliber after 9 months of E85 and Slick 50 consumption. I expected to see the Penta-star on the front, not an H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmm55 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 which made the car sound like a sneaker. Or a bra LOL. How, why would Honda make an uglier Sebring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I think that the Honda/Acura guys are seeing who can design the ugliest product - that American sheep will still buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 So it looks like an attempt at a Fusion knockoff up front and some Prius/Panamera/whatever-the-heck-they-wanted-to-throw-on-there conglomoration out back. That'll work........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It is proof that the Aztek design crew is still working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark B. Morrow Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 You almost have to wonder if the CEOs of Honda and Toyota didn't make some kind of bet as to which one could sell the ugliest car to Americans. It's like Trading Places with Randolph and Mortimer putting Duke & Duke in the hands of Billy Ray Valentine over a $1 bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman100 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 It's pretty bad - they should have just made a practical Accord wagon and called it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
