Accord Crosstour to get 4-cylinder model

Often being criticized for the lack of a V6 and as a result, its high starting price, the 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour will soon see a 4-cylinder option be added to its trim levels. A memo was sent out to dealers today listing that the 4-cylinder option will be released mid-summer but rumors tell us to expect the 4-cylinder models to be phased in along with the 2012 model coming out in fall 2011. A few other rumors state that the 4-cylinder model will be available in FWD only and be available in lower trim levels and the 4-cylinder will be a slightly beefed-up engine because the Crosstour substantially weighs more than the Accord Coupe/Sedan. No word on a 4-cylinder option for Canada.
