Looks sharp! My wife wants to downsize our next SUV purchase and this CrossRoad could be a great replacement for us. The CRV would be nice for her, but seems to small for my taste.

I like it, but I can't see it coming here, unless as a new element. It's just too similar to the elment, both in shape and powertrain (4 cyl).

Looks nice! I like how it has seperate captain's-like chairs in the front, almost like the odyssey. But I also love the pilot center console!!!

looks like a ripoff of the Nissan X-Trail

I can't see a 1.8 or 2.0L engine moving this thing too well, at least for American tastes.

Wow, two exhaust outlets too.

Boy, I've been lamenting the lack of choices in the small, sporty SUV class. They're only about 58 models to choose from.

That's the grille the Pilot needs!

Except the Crossroad has a wide range of upscale features you will never see in the Element.

(Navi, power-folding mirrors, radar ranging cruise control, telescoping steering, integrated bluetooth phone, etc...).

Heck, the Pilot doesn't have many of these features yet. Hopefully this indicates the direction the Pilot will go in the next update.

A Honda Crossroad was spotted in the Louisville KY area in the company of a Toyota Venza.

No pics though, Keep and eye out!

26 Oct 2009 is the release date. NO 4cyl or manual trans. V6 with VCM 2WD or 4WD, 3,500lb towing. 2.5 inches taller than current Accord and 7 inches LONGER than the Venza. Accord platform for sure. They are saying it will have "power fold down seats" on the upper models. I'm not sure of the lower models. It will also have a dealer installed plastic floor cover that will allow it to be like a truck bed. I don't know how much wider it will be than the Accord. There will be a Base 2wd, 4x4, a mid and top with Navi. Not sure if there will be RES or not. 18 inch wheels on top models along with possible power hatch. 260 plus HP.

The thread references a Crossroad, whereas your links reference a CrossTour. Two different vehicles.

it does have many upscale touches, but how many of these great features will actually make the cut for the US version? its typical for honda to remove and make unavailable certain 'luxury' features seen on non-US models (ie. heated rear seats on canadian pilots). if this vehicle is supposed to fit in between the pilot and cr-v, at least a few of the features will be cut.
