What a total dump.

Not only is this a niche that I was hoping nobody else would venture into - this truck totally lost its "edge" from the concept to the production model, as is often the case with most manufacturers and always the case with Honda.

The Pilot is a marginal vehicle. This SUT brings marginality to an entirely new level in all regards. The design is avalanche+lame and the functionality of these vehicles isn't debatable - they are useless.

I should have known long ago that something cool and exclusive (the Hummer H1 4 door "open top") would get bastardized by GM and then immediately copied all in the name of trendiness.

But I wasn't prepared for this ... I repeat - what a dumpy, unecessary, useless, profit-wh0re of a vehicle.

Wow. In seeing the Tacoma win Truck of the Year and seeing Honda make another car-based something, its clear how far apart the 2 companies are. I think the Ridgeline will be perfect for the Honda faithful. hell they buy the Element.

Why would you want a "sport utility truck" based off a minivan chassis? That's a pansy truck if you ask me.
