Is that a Honda Crosstour in a fancy dress?

Ah, similar but different. The Crosstour is based on the Accord, the ZDX is based on the Pilot/MDX. 

If it fits your needs, you may have better luck finding one with a Honda badge.

If you want a car that handles well, gets good mileage, isn’t too gizmo’d out, has a hatchback that’ll swallow a dishwasher, you might want to test drive a 2015 VW Golf. They’ve come a l-o-n-g way since the Rabbit years. Put a set of snow tires on one, and you should be able to handle a Maine winter.
