Crossfire Imitator? Honda Crosstour

Is it me, or has Honda engineers stolen some design cues from our Crossfire?
Hell, they even borrowed part of the name!

I don't see any similarities at all aside from the color.

If it is an imitation, it is a bad one!

I'm looking at the hatchback, the taillights, the roof line and the front horizontal grill.....design cues, not replications. Also the name just reinforces the thought.

It's you. The one at the local dealer looks nothing like the XF or its own press photos in person. My bet's it'll sit on the lot awhile

Re: Crossfire Imitator? Honda Crosstour

I think the biggest resemblance is in the direct "side" view. To me, it looks like a reasonable version of what a 4 dr. Crossfire might look like.
I think Forum member "TBIRD" owns one.

Close. His better half Sterling owns it.

It's a work car.

Re: Crossfire Imitator? Honda Crosstour

No, not much similarity here at all other than the rear wheel hip flairing...but then again that's not unique to our cars either. But it is a neat looking car in any event.
