Taking a peek at what&#8217;s being cross-shopped against Honda&#8217;s latest offering proves potential customers are in the same boat.<\/p>\n<p>Fitting every car into a neat categorical box is a fool&#8217;s errand, but the Crosstour is apparently making everyone wonder just where it belongs. According to early Edmunds&#8217; data, buyers seem to think the Crosstour competes most closely with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/ToyotaVenza\/\">Toyota Venza<\/a>, with ToMoCo&#8217;s wagon-on-stilts being cross-shopping against the Crosstour more than any other vehicle. Other Honda models are also heavily considered against the Crosstour, according to Edmunds Auto Observer, as are a panoply of other cars. Luxury rides like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/AudiA4\/\">Audi A4<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/BMW3Series\/\">BMW 3 Series<\/a> wind up in the comparison column, as do more traditional crossovers like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/ChevroletEquinox\/\">Chevrolet Equinox<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/ToyotaRAV4\/\">Toyota RAV-4<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>While the Crosstour has been called lots of unflattering things, it&#8217;s clear that figuring out whether it&#8217;s neatly described as fish or fowl is more of a thorny chestnut. That said, none of this is exactly important if the car is generating showroom traffic and moving units. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-first-drive\/low\/\">First Drive: 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-first-drive\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/17_hondacrosstourfd_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-first-drive\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/02_hondacrosstourfd_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-first-drive\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/03_hondacrosstourfd_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-first-drive\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/04_hondacrosstourfd_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-first-drive\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/01_hondacrosstourfd_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos copyright (C)2009 Chris Paukert \/ Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoobserver.com\/2009\/11\/trying-to-figure-out-what-the-honda-crosstour-is.html\">Edmunds Auto Observer<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/20\/edmunds-data-suggests-honda-crosstour-buyers-dont-know-what-it\/\">Edmunds data suggests Honda Crosstour buyers don&#8217;t know what it competes against either<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:01:00 EST.
