I don’t see these often, and seeing a Honda and Acura version side by side in the same color is very unusual.

How many stars in the Universe had to line up perfectly for you to have witnessed this amazing and extremely rare coincidence?!

It’s crazy, I know, but I like one and not the other. The lines on the Crosstour are just cleaner... better to my eye.

I kind of like the crosstour after it has been lowered

That’s funny because I was just thinking the same thing in reverse.  However, unlike most of our colleagues, I do not hate the Crosstour.  It’s a wagon with a little extra ride height.  Instead of vilifying it, people should be glad Honda tried to give them a viable wagon choice at all.

That actually does look pretty good. I don’t hate them as much as some, but the height is certainly one of the negatives.

One trend I wish would go away on modern cars is the bumper carveout where the hatch closes. I know it makes the seal easier to set up, but I would like either the bumper to have a defined line all the way across, or to have no recess.

Not sure if either works on the Crosstour as is, but...

...anyway, just something about the way a step in the opening breaks up the lines. Really annoying. Can’t explain why.

I don’t think I realized the ZDX even existed. I like it.

I don’t find these any uglier than the X4/X6/GLE- KOOPAY. Just goes to show: it’s all about the badge.

Personally I think they look better than those by far. If it didn’t have the massive Acura beak the ZDX could actually be a decent looking car.

Later in the d ay I was passed by a Bentley Mulsane, a 1959 El Camino, and a Ford unibody truck.

I believe all the automotive stars aligned today.

There is a ZDX in our area, only one. I’m not sure how I feel about it.

Need a Crosstour GT, then.

interesting - really had never picked up on the size and styling similarity even though one is a hatchbacked sedan, the other a squashed SUV.

shows how much more rear overhang the honda crosstour has than the ZDX. also that the window sills and roof is higher on the Acura...

I find negative camber to be a negative.
