Honda has released interior photos of the controversial 2010 Accord Crosstour.
Honda describes the interior of the Accord Crosstour as "versatile" with its one touch lever, which is used to fold the rear seats from the cargo area and under floor hidden storage area. The dashboard is pretty much right out of the sedan version.
Does the interior help you like this car any better than before?
In addition to the release of more photos, Honda has confirmed that the Accord Crosstour will come standard with a 3.5L V6 with 4-wheel-drive being optional. Honda has yet to release the final specs, but the vehicle will be on sale in November.

PRESS RELEASE:
2010 Honda Accord Crosstour Interior Offers Innovation in Space Utilization
V-6 engine standard, four-wheel drive available
10/06/2009 - TORRANCE, Calif. -
The all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour will feature a versatile, upscale 5-passenger interior with an innovative rear storage area, a standard 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 engine and available four-wheel drive when it goes on sale in November, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
"Honda has a longstanding reputation for maximizing interior space and utility in its vehicles," said Erik Berkman, vice president of corporate planning and logistics for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Like the award-winning Honda Fit, the Accord Crosstour uses a versatile design to create an interior that functions with the practicality of a larger vehicle."
The rear storage area features an innovative 8-inch deep under-floor Hidden Removable Utility Box with a reversible lid, featuring both plush-carpeted and durable-plastic sides. Levers near the interior fender wells, conveniently accessible from the tailgate opening, allow for one-touch conversion of the seats into the floor for additional cargo space.
The interior design is intended to enhance the feeling of width and space in the passenger cabin while creating a premium and accommodating atmosphere. The inset sculpting of the instrument panel along with a wide center console increases the sense of roominess. Intuitively grouped controls for the audio, climate and available navigation system are designed to operate with solidity and precision.
The exterior styling evolves the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) concept by integrating a sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality.
The Accord Crosstour will be positioned at the top of the Accord family when it goes on sale in November. Additional details will be announced later in the year.

Yes, the Aztek was uglier than this car. But only by a little. Honda, how many are you expecting to sell of these? 500 a year?

No.

I can't understand why they are trying the "tall wagon-crossover" thing. This can't carry more stuff than say my Mazda6 hatch. Granted, it may be better on snowy roads because it is taller, but other than that, I see no benefit over a standard sedan body with a hatch.
Not that I am in the market for a vehicle like this, but if I was, I would certainly consider the Toyota over this one. Honda really dropped the ball with the styling. It is just ugly!

Clearly a kneejerk reaction to the Venza.

It's nice to see people actually do hate Honda occasionally.

I had HIGH hopes for this car when the initial mule they were testing was the US Accord front with a europe Accord wagon body on it.
I think this is hideous.
We're going to be in the market for a car that can carry us, the kid, and the dog for a thousand mile round trip to visit the in-laws, and this isn't going to be it. Unfortunately, we can't wait for the Focus or Mondeo wagon or 5door to get here. That's what I would really like.
