Maybe with favorable poll results we can start a petition 
Accord Type R wagon, @perdana did this come flying out of our parent’s fantasy dreams?

Honestly, I’d love to get ANY reasonably priced mid-sized SPORTY drive car/SUV at this point. And I don’t know where to get one.
Maybe G80 would be reasonable and sporty? Not holding my breath.
So ya, if there is an Accord Type R and handles and drives like the Civic, hell ya
And then BMW doesn’t bring it to the states

I would rather someone try to start (another) petition to bring the Subaru Levorg here…
Per The Truth About Cars, US BMW dealers have complained about not having a competitor for the A4 Allroad, so perhaps we’ll get a 330i xDrive in the future (maybe in the mid-cycle facelift?).

From the title I vote yes, from the picture (less Accord shooting brake, more a lowered Odyssey) I vote no.
Even if Honda made these, they won’t lease well.
As long as all 3 series are built in Germany, I don’t see this happening. If they moved production to SC - maybe. Otherwise their argument is to get an X1.
@nextlevelautobrokers can you please order me one
Probably about as likely as BMW reversing course and offering a manual 330i.

As much as I’d love to see a high performance manual Honda wagon, Honda has more or less walked away from wagons, not just in the US,but also in overseas markets. They now only offer hatchbacks, SUVs or minivans for the space-efficient desiring. Heck, we only go the TSX wagon for a couple of years because it was the Euro Accord wagon (the smaller Euro Accord has been discontinued, sedan or wagon) and even what we got was FWD, auto, 4-cyl only. There’s just no way they’ll engineer a wagon just for the wagon-averse US market, and having just recently walked away from manuals on Accord, they’re not bringing it back. And for a vehicle that will be firmly in Acura pricing territory at the same time Honda is investing in Acura performance variants across sedans and SUVs, there’s no shot.
While it was heartening to see Audi bring back the A6 avant variants (allroad & RS6), the trend is toward less wagons in the US market at this point. Manuals too, unfortunately.
What will we see more of? EV & PHEV SUVs.

If they make it in manual, we will get matching ones!
Remember this moment when I FaceTime you in 18 months all giddy about a build code

If all else fails, there’s always Canada 
Kind of like how everyone wanted the 10g to offer a manual with the big engine, then they did it, but nobody bought it, and now everyone wants one since they can’t have it anymore?
I could fill a few filing cabinets with all of the things that Honda should have done for the last 20 years. An Accord wagon is pretty low on the list.

The last one didn’t sell well either. I give Honda a ton of credit for trying things others wouldn’t.
I miss the 80s Civic wagon, but that demo buys Odysseys now. I think a true CRX reboot (not the CRZ ugh) could do pretty well, but I also see why Toyota’s lineup is a buffet of milk-toast plus the Supra - it sells. Product and Marketing work together in lock-step.
My very first car was a 91 Honda crx si w chameleon paint
I was 15 and thought it was super cool. Man I was wrong. It wasn’t cool. I certainly wasn’t cool.

However uncool you think your CRX was now, the CRZ is that wearing head gear and a pocket protector.
I briefly dated a girl in highschool who had an 89 CRX in white, when I had my maroon 87 civic.
In the history on Honda cars, any CRX is the one I would least-like to examine with a black light.

Honda destroyed what was left of itself in 2009. The 10g Accord is the first Honda I’ve driven since that is recognizable as a ‘true Honda’.
In 2009:
They had a 4.5L V8 90% developed ready to do into the Legend/RL to debut in 2011. Instead they prolonged the 3rd gen RL and then developed the pathetic RLX.
They had a 5.0L V10 ready to go into the FR NSX (became the HSV-10 race car) to debut in 2011 or 2012. Instead they jacked themselves off for years to come up with something that nobody was asking for at a price point way too high several years too late.
They were more than halfway through developing an S2000 successor. We know where that went.
They were doing really cool things with the Accord and Civic bringing them upmarket (just like they did with the current generations) and then panicked and decided to foist on us cost cut versions which were inferior in almost every way to the prior generation.
Same story with their powersports/motorcycle division. Basically stagnant for years and were overtaken by the competition.
In 2009 Honda was completely panicked, afraid of bankruptcy or even worse a takeover by someone like GM, so they decided to cancel everything remotely interesting or expensive and focus on the dirt cheap, minimalistic cars that EVERYONE would want during the pending economic holocaust where every country would look like Ghana and we’d be selling our copper plumbing to buy their cheap Civics. I lost hope for them a long time ago and anything remotely cool they come out with is just better than the nothing they’ve given us.
Soichiro Honda would have murdered them all for playing it safe instead of taking risk. They began building not what Honda wanted to build (as Soichiro always demanded), but what Honda thought other people wanted Honda to build. That’s how one becomes GM. Death by focus group and corporate mediocrity.

I still hear recollection and rants about a 1995 accord. My dad thinks it’s the best damn thing in the world.
