Talk:Honda Accord (North America eighth generation)

Rename to "Honda crosstour"
This name currently as it stands is very confusing. All the commercials and everything is saying "Honda Crosstour" not "Honda Accord (North America eighth generation)" That is just long name and is technically wrong. This should be moved to simple and shorter name. 174.16.246.183 (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. i was little wrong on this one. Forget this suggestion. 174.16.246.183 (talk) 01:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The Crosstour is more of a station wagon than SUV; needs its own page too 19:42, 18 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.28.49.140 (talk)


 * The Crosstour and regular Accord are different types of vehicles. Crosstour is a crossover type when regular Accord is a sedan (4-door) and a coupe (2-door); Crosstour has to have its own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.37.89 (talk) 19:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The crossover is officially called the Honda Accord Crosstour, thus the reason for including it in the NA 8th gen Accord article. If there is enough detail to warrant its own article, then someone can create a separate Honda Accord Crosstour article and summarize it in a few sentences in this one. --Vossanova o&lt; 19:44, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Is the use of the "Accord" name in front of "Crosstour" a mere marketing decision from Honda, or does the Crosstour share substantial components and systems with the sedan and coupe? Do they all share engine, driveline and overall architecture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.177.128.100 (talk) 03:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Both? The Crosstour is in fact built from the Accord package using several Accord components, however it is also a completely different type of vehicle. This is very similar to how Nissan launched the Armada, marketing it at first with the "Pathfinder" name attached to it. Supposedly to give it some brand recognition and hoping that the Pathfinder's good name would have a positive effect on people's perception of the vehicle (The Armada and Pathfinder were also built from a common platform with many components in common). I think Honda recently announced that the "Accord" name would be dropped, leaving the vehicle simply called "Crosstour," but I can't confirm this at this time. I suggest that these be seperated as soon as Honda officially stops branding this vehicle as an Accord variant. Ghost650 (talk) 17:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Willy is right, he does need to sell them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.43.108.55 (talk) 16:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

I think the Crosstour should be split into a separate article. It's not the same car, so why have an article on the same page? 68.37.41.158 (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Front/All-Wheel
There is no information about which models/engines can have all-wheel. It this option available to all models? --129.247.247.238 (talk) 12:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Brake Wear Lawsuit
I found the brake wear lawsuit paragraph (under "Safety") had been deleted a few months ago with only a cursory "not notable" reason given. I've restored it. Please discuss any notability or other problems here first before deleting it again. This was a large class action involving a brake design defect with safety implications that received coverage in the major news media. This is why it deserves mention. The sources given for this section are an NYT article, the official court website & related court documents. I'm no expert on Wikipedia guidelines but seems like this needs some prior discussion if it's going to be removed. Jmathis555 (talk) 12:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
