At this years Frank­furt Motor­show, Honda hasn’t been rest­ing on it’s lau­rels. Instead they’ve given us a beau­ti­ful con­cept tourer (or wagon, depends on what your idea of a wagon is). It’s clear Honda have their sights set on giv­ing us back a solid Honda wagon along the lines of the Accord Wagon, not seen in the US and Aus­tralia since the fifth-​​generation Accord — although wagon pro­duc­tion con­tin­ues in Euro­pean and Japan­ese markets.

Spec­i­fi­ca­tions remain rel­a­tively unchanged from the Accord Euro, with the the 2.0– and 2.4-litre gas engines, although Honda’s 2.2-litre diesel will be an option when it goes into pro­duc­tion. The Tourer con­cept also sports 4 doors, a longer track and width to improve han­dling and cargo space.

I’m not sure if this is exactly what the 08 Impreza will look like come Octo­ber, in inter­na­tional, JDM, ADM or USDM guise, but it’s nice to be given an idea of the inte­rior fit and fin­ish, which already looks bet­ter than the out­go­ing model. We have our reser­va­tions over the clear rear tail lights, and the loss of the iconic sedan, but hear­ing about a 10% increase in fuel econ­omy is always good.
