What if we just...

... lowered it to the ground?

Now it’s a fastback Accord. Brainwave! Genius! ... right?

I’m not a fan of stance, which is why I picked the one that I did - a bit more stock-alike to its contemporary sedans.

Good choice of paint, though. I like the matte metallic finish.

I mean, the 2018 Accord is pretty much a Fastback

I feel like I should hate this...

But I don’t.

Still looks overweight.

The body-color notes are arguably more interesting than the dark reliefs , but I’m not convinced the grill bars need to be dark as opposed to, say, chrome relief around the headlights and the fogs. But for older-style chrome trimming to work, the bars would need to line up with the headlights differently...

I love the Crosstour. I would get one in I were in my late 20s or 30s and they still made em.

I mean, it’s basically an A5 Sportback now!

don’t you dare make me like the Crosstour

yeah even this is a little much for me. I’m a fan of slammed, but once it gets into negative camber I like it less and less.

nevertheless, the paint and wheels are fantastic on this.

I wonder if the Crosstour can take Accord front clips?

But just not a Big Crossover One That Sells Lots.

Still a really good body design ignoring the divisive front.

Outbacks are also good candidates.

I’m doing it

Negative camber is fine in small, subtle amounts.

If you have to make it apparent, you’re doing it wr ong.

So speaking of bad front ends. I think 2 things work, one more realistic than the other . There is a Honda accessory sport grille (Not the sport model grille, this is different)that makes it much much better because it removes the Chrome unibow which is the main offender for me:

Or, check this out. I went to Honda China website where they have the Honda Spirior. They should have just kept this design, looks so much better. It’s like the perfect blend of 2017 and 2018 Accord http://www.spirior.com.cn/#page-7

The sedan and coupe do have a similar slash line that runs from the front fender into the doors, but no idea if one of their front clips would line up with the Crosstour.

Isn't there already a fastback Buick that is not lifted?

This I can get behind. Cars usually don’t need lowering. Crossovers and SUVs could use a little.

I mean... is there? You might be confusing it with the TourX...

Maybe not that low with the Flex, but I can get with that.

So you don’t get the Buick Regal in sedan like hatchback format like we apparently get with the Holden badged version?

I only say apparently because they are selling in Australia like  ice cubes in Antarctica...

The only thing we have is the Regal Sportback, which... it’s just a sedan, not really even a fastback.
