The design and performance of this new car will certainly be modified and expect Honda to turn things up a notch.

Any color brochures available as of 11/23/2017?
When is this Crosstour going to come out? I currently have the 2012
(bought leftover with 60 miles in Feb 2013). I still have this vehicle and absolutely love it.
I love the V6 4wd. Would love to see them come back out. It’s 2018 and have not seen this vehicle being available anywhere.
Please let me know when this vehicle will be available again. Keep the V6 4wd hatchback. Lots of room when the seats are down. Fits my two dogs perfectly when transporting to vets.
Will a standard transmission be offered?
