2013 Honda Crosstour Concept Shows up with a Fresh Face at the New York Auto Show

If you were looking for Honda to present a brand-new Crosstour model at the New York Auto Show, you lucked out.

What Honda brought to the Big Apple is essentially a subtly refreshed version of the current Crosstour, which launched in the market in December of 2009 amidst snarky criticism about its looks.

Most changes can be found up front where the Crosstour gets a new chrome grille that's pushed back along with a more rugged-looking bumper with pronounced fog lamp housings and a protective plate.

At the back, even though you may not notice it, Honda says there's a revised tailgate that sports "a more horizontal design to add visual width to the sculpted lines at the rear", while the bumper has also been redesigned and features the same black moldings as the front bumper.

The new contrasting moldings on the doors and the redesigned alloy wheels complete the exterior revisions for the 2013 model.

First Official Photos of the Honda Crosstour Concept, 2013 Ram 1500 and 2013 Lexus ES Leaked?

The automotive pundits over at Cheersandgears seem to have scored a hatrick of scoops publishing what they claim to be, the first official shots of the Honda Crosstour Concept, the 2013 Ram 1500 pickup truck and the 2013 Lexus ES sedan, all of which are set to make their world premiere at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday, April 4.

Beginning with Honda's concept model, if this image is indeed real, then the Crosstour study is nothing more than a light facelift of the current model with a revised snout sporting a new chromed grille and a more rugged-looking front bumper, plus different wheels and protective black cladding all around.

The second picture allegedly shows us the 2013 Ram 1500 pickup truck, which looks like it gains a reshaped crosshair grille with a full-chrome treatment (at least on this edition), new headlamp fixtures, possibly featuring LED daytime running lights, and a redesigned bumper with new fog lamps.

The Chrysler Group has already revealed that the 2013 Ram 1500 will get a new 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar V6 matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

New Honda Crosstour Concept to Debut at the 2012 New York Auto Show

It seems like only yesterday that Honda presented the Accord Crosstour, which soon after dropped its Accord moniker and is now simply known as the Crosstour.

To be precise, it's been two years and a couple of months since its market launch in the States, which is very short time in automotive years, but not soon enough for a replacement if you ask (most) Honda fans.

Today we learn that Honda has green lighted a successor based on the soon-to-be revealed ninth generation Accord, the coupe version of which was previewed through a concept model at this year's Detroit Motor Show.
