Acura/Honda ZDX?


Burlapp's found another good pic, this time of what looks like the ACURA ZDX with a Honda badge. Some people are going to think that this is going to be the new Accord Wagon, but I'm going to say that the lines are pretty much identical to the photo's below of the upcoming Acura Concept (ZDX). For those that don't know, Acura is pretty much North American only, and if the car comes out in Japan or UK, it will be badged a Honda, so the 'H' does make sense.

The above photo is from Acura which is a 'teaser' of what the concept is going to look like.
Above is a photo taken in good ol' Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was seen presumably being tested for cold weather climate effectiveness.

2010 Honda Accord CUV (Wagon) Information

Below are spy pic's taken by Brenda Priddy and Co. of the upcoming Honda Accord Wagon to be introduced to North America for fall 2009.
Below is a pic of a 2006 Honda Accord Wagon's Blueprints, just to help speculation of the the upcoming Accord Wagon to North America, below that is the blueprint of a Honda Airwave wagon-van.

Here's what we know so far....
-will have the North American Honda Accord front end.
-will be a little longer than the European Honda Accord Wagon.
-will sit higher of the ground than the existing North American Accord Sedan.
-will be built on the current Honda Accord platform.
-is to be situated between the Honda CRV and the Honda Pilot.
-will be a direct competitor to the Toyota Venza.
-speculation of the 4 wheel drive system to be the VTM-4 (Pilot and Ridgeline) and not the Realtime 4WD system (CRV).
-expect the 2.4l 4cyl and the 3.5l V6 to be carried over.
-expected to arrive into showrooms in September 2009.

Autoblog; Geneva 2009: Honda Accord Tourer Type-S (a sneak peak at our upcoming Accord CUV Wagon?)

Judging by the 'spyshots' of the Accord CUV Wagon that we in North America are getting for September 2009, this is going to be a sharp indication of what it will look like. Expect the North American Accord's nose and with a 4 wheel drive option, the vehicle will probably sit a little higher.
The car pictured above represents some of my favorite features in a main-stream car: it's a wagon and it's a diesel. I'm also fully aware that I am in a distinct minority on both counts among drivers in the U.S. market. This is the new European-market Honda Accord Tourer Type-S. We get the sedan version in the U.S., badged as the Acura TSX. Personally, I prefer the wagon version because it retains the overall size and dynamic characteristics of a sedan while adding a huge dollop of utility when needed. It's also quite a handsome car. Rumor has it we'll see this body style appear as a new Honda CUV in the states this fall with the high-riding Outback treatment. The wagon is not new to Europe but the new Type-S (also available as a sedan) is.

The Type-S Accord gets a 178 hp version of Honda's new iDTEC 2.2L diesel four cylinder with a stiff 280 lb-ft of torque. The Type-S gets larger 18" wheels and bumper and sill extensions for a more aggressive look. Unfortunately, this is very likely the car we were supposed to get as a TSX this year. However, market conditions have forced Honda to indefinitely cancel those plans. What a shame.
