The CR-Z's arrival is significant simply because there's no other vehicle out there like it. It's a hybrid that doesn't drive or look like a typical hybrid.
Crosstour
Reviewers at Detroit News took a spin in the Accord Crosstour and liked what they drove-both inside and out. Regarding the styling they wrote, "?the new Accord Crosstour looks sharp, sophisticated and tough." The interior reminded them of the Accord Sedan, calling the materials "?high quality and well made." Taking a particular interest in the cargo area, especially the hidden utility box, they wrote, "?Crosstour comes with a big space in the back, it's good to see Honda made the most of the opportunity." The Crosstour's on-road performance impressed them as well, stating, "The ride was extremely quiet?The 271-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 keeps the Crosstour quick wherever you drive?The all-wheel drive system is also very smooth and helps keep the Crosstour firmly planted."[1]
