introduced. I look forward to discussing a number of those new models here on The Juicebox. However, I couldn't resist that my first post be about Honda and Acura. Honda introduced the "Crosstour Concept" which is basically a refresh to the current Crosstour. It may be a refresh but only a trained eye is going to see the changes. The problem is, even if you do notice the changes, they aren't any good. The vehicle is still incredibly ugly. This is an opinion coming from a guy who really likes wagons. Now, on to Acura. Acrua introduced the RLX Concept. THIS car my friends is supposed to be the company's flagship sedan. This car is more boring than a white wall. The best thing about this car would be to drive next to one on a road trip and watch it cause all your passengers to fall asleep. I honestly don't see how Acura can put this thing on the show floor and feel good about it while Audi and Mercedes are selling legitimate beauty pageant contenders. Again, I'm not going to argue that this car is going to be a bad car mechanically or not a quiet, comfortable ride. I am fairly confident it will meet those criteria. This is about design and the design scheme is seriously flawed, from top to bottom at Honda.
Note: While I think the Crosstour is downright ugly, I just think the Acura is boring. The Acura would look fine in a retirement home parking lot.
