What a horrible design. Look how the seat cushions are un-centered - I can't imagine they are comfortable to sit in. Look how close the roof is to the headrests - no headroom. Look at how small the rear window sights are - you can't see anything.

Why didn't Honda just bring over a normal wagon that would actually be useful instead of designing this? This would have been a thousand times better:

Bodywise, that car is basically a Euro Accord wagon/TSX wagon that will be coming to the US next year. From what I've read, the cargo space on that wagon isn't exactly all that useful, either. Although, it's probably better than the Crosstour.

Not true. This car had a V6, AWD, and was lifted. It was a prototype for the Crosstour (that's what Temple of VTEC called it) using Accord parts and some TSX parts as well. Note the fender flares, higher stance, and (in other pictures) rear diff at the rear axle (indicating AWD).

I said bodywise. I know the underpinnings weren't the same.

Unless they modded the interior somehow, it would only provide as much space as the TSX wagon would, if not less due to what they might have to do to fit the AWD running gear under there.
