Some people are comparing them on the same level of ugliness.....I don't quite agree.

A generally good post. But, IMO, it's hard to justify the poor rear vision on both the Venza and Crosstour (the Crosstour's is worse). NAV/back-up cameras, help, of course, but they only work with the car in Reverse, and, of course, not all versions have them.

I'm a firm believer in good visibility when you are driving. In today's traffic, a lot of things can wind up in your blind spots.

Its a accord station wagon.
Yes, but very loosely. It's (more or less) the same relationship as the Subaru Legacy-Outback, where the Outback not only has a different body style, but a raised-suspension and more ground clearance as well. The Crosstour grille/front-end styling is also noticeably different from a standard Accord. And, with the droop-rear roofline, the Crosstour is not a true wagon IMO, but a hatchback.

i never understand pictures shot from that angle. how many of you view a car while you sitting on the ground? sure, it may make the vehicle look more aggressive (by appear to be bigger and taller), but that is a moot point.
