The Honda Accord Crosstour is already getting plenty of attention for its eye catching styling. Whether you love it or hate it, it looks to be a formidable competitor to the Toyota Venza. Part wagon, part sedan, part crossover, the Honda Accord Crosstour is certainly a new direction for the otherwise conservative Accord lineup.
One way that Honda hopes to boost interest in the Accord Crosstour is by promoting the new vehicle on Facebook and other social media locales according to Fairfax Honda. With advertising and a page that users can become fans of in order to get updates, the Facebook page in particular no doubt seemed like a great way to get plenty of eyeballs on the all-new Crosstour.
Unfortunately, Honda’s PR efforts on Facebook seem to have backfired a bit observes San Luis Obispo Used Cars. Users overwhelmingly discussed how unattractive the new Crosstour was. To make matters worse, a Honda employee chimed in and voiced his opinion the new vehicle’s good looks - without identifying himself as being employed by the automaker.
Honda has since updated the photos of the Accord Crosstour on Facebook, citing the original photos as “bad yearbook” shots. According to used Honda Fredericksburg dealer, the updated photos feature the car in bolder colors and different settings. The switch has yielded somewhat more positive feedback, but it does show that Honda is more than willing to listen to consumers. By their own admission, the Crosstour may not be for everyone, but it illustrates that Honda is certainly willing to take risks in product design as well as in marketing.

A full review of the Honda Crosstour is coming soon!
American drivers have long loved larger cars. Sedans from Detroit fueled this by providing large, powerful sedans with seemingly endless cargo and passenger carrying capabilities. However, fuel prices, the environment, and a change in consumer behavior have rapidly changed this passion, and drivers are no longer flocking to oversized sedans from Detroit. That being said, consumers still demand roomy, powerful sedans. The difference is that they want don’t want to sacrifice fuel economy and reliability.
For those drivers that want it all, the latest Honda Accord is likely the answer you’re looking for. With a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, drivers at Cerritos Honda dealers have noted that there’s more than enough passing power on tap. In addition to loads of power, the Accord V6 also delivers efficiency. Thanks to Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, the Accord's V6 can actually run on four-cylinders at cruising speed, helping to save fuel.
Power and efficiency is assured, but on-road ride will also please many large sedan shoppers according to Pittsburgh Honda. Passengers have ample leg, shoulder, and headroom, plus there’s plenty of room in the trunk. The dash in the latest Accord features Honda’s outstanding ergonomic design prowess, meaning everything is located right where you would expect it to be.
The Honda Accord is larger than ever before, but many Accord shoppers among San Francisco Used Cars say it doesn’t have the stigma of the bloated, sluggish, and lackluster large sedans that we’ve seen emerge from Detroit. Powerful, efficient, and even surprisingly luxurious, the latest Honda Accord is the ideal vehicle for carrying family, friends, and business associates alike.

Amid June automotive sales results, the numbers were dismal – as expected. But Amid poor sales overall was one automaker that actually grew, and that automaker was Honda. As the number 2 Japanese automaker, Honda’s lineup of extremely fuel efficient vehicles and hybrids as helped keep consumer interest in the brand.
During the month of June, most automakers saw double digit declines in sales. Among the hardest hit automakers were those with truck- and SUV-heavy lineups, including domestic automakers. But Honda posted a small one percent increase in sales. Although one percent doesn’t seem to be huge, the increase was certainly felt by Honda dealer Honda Longview Texas and others and its really does have significance considering most automakers failed to prevent declines.
The biggest sellers for Honda were the Civic and the Accord as both models offer some of the most competitive gas prices in the industry, which has contributed to huge demand at Hartford Used Cars and other dealers. Thanks to these vehicles and others in Honda’s lineup, the automaker is well-positioned as consumers change their buying habits away from larger vehicles to more fuel efficient and compact vehicles.
While Detroit’s Big Three struggle to improve sales, Honda is finding itself in a fairly comfortable place. Their current lineup is seen as ideal as the price of fuel surges well past $4 per gallon. In addition, Honda will be introducing the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle for lease to the public beginning this year, furthering the automaker’s claim to be a leader in both fuel efficiency and advanced environmentally friendly technology.
Domestic automakers struggle for having a lineup that has very different characteristics compared with Honda’s. Among these differences include the having too many full-size trucks and SUVs and too few compact cars and hybrids. Recently, automakers with heavy truck lineups have reduced production and in some cases have even shut down many assembly plants to help production become in line with demand. Honda however doesn’t offer as many full-size vehicles have therefore found itself in a far better position. Even pre-owned Honda models, says Used Cars Shreveport, have been selling strongly as customers are increasingly cost conscious.
Unlike its competition, Honda has the time and resources to develop advanced vehicles such as the hydrogen fuel cell powered Clarity FCX. Meanwhile, other automakers are rushing to diversify their lineups, and are also offering many new incentives in an attempt to move inventory. While they struggle, more Honda Fits are in high demand at Louisiana Honda Dealer and Honda is actually struggling to meet the vehicle’s worldwide demand.
While most automakers contribute to struggle, Honda’s position is stable and growing. With the added attention of advanced vehicles such as the new Clarity, Honda will surely continue its role as the automakers for environmentally friendly and fuel efficient vehicles.
