Still not the Accord wagon we’d like.As the philosopher Jagger said, “You can’t always get what you want.” Mick was right. What we want—what we’d love—is a Honda Accord station wagon. But Americans don’t buy wagons. Rather, some Americans buy some wagons, just not in high enough numbers to convince automakers to give us more traditional load-luggers. Instead, Honda—like every other carmaker—sells crossover utility vehicles: car-based, raised wagons meant to look more like SUVs and less like Clark Griswold’s family truckster. The Accord Crosstour is the company’s entry into the somewhere-between-sedan-and-SUV segment, an Accord-based answer to Toyota’s Venza.
