Ughhhhhhh......why don't they just build the Accord wagon again?!? At least it's more useful.

Between this and the BMW X6, I just cannot figure out what these marketing departments are thinking.

Can't figure out what they're thinking? Honda spends millions on market research and they won't go into a market that doesn't look like it will make them $$. OK, the S2000 was more of an image niche market, but they're getting out for a reason.

The crossover idea is still big. It's a way of having function like a station wagon, but not having a station wagon. The target market is young families, and this type of car is appealing. Not too many families can afford an X6, but they will be willing to pony up to a Honda version for all the same reason we all like Honda.

Looks like the Honda version of the new Acura ZDX
which comes out first. Built on the Pilot/MDX platform.
I guess they figure if BMW does it, it can't be wrong.
