Holy crap, that is a great photo!

Nice to see it is towing, I just wonder what the bed length will be and the towing capacity.

I don't think that is too weird, lots of concepts are just a little strange so they can test people's opinions.

I'm thinking the production unit is looking very close to the concept, just nicely refined in some places.

I noticed the poster at the dealership parts counter the last couple times I was in there. The first time I saw it I thought it was nasty......too much plastic like the Element.

The second time I saw it I noticed how the lines on the cabin have the same angles in the front as the back, so it looks like you can't tell if it is coming or going..........like the stupid MR2 Spider design.

I believe the stats on the poster also said it only had a V-6.

Try again Honda!

Same basic engine and drivetrain from the Pilot, so V6 and AWD no V8 and 4WD.
In my opinion it could be the perfect "truck" for lots of people.
I bet Honda sells a lot of them!
Towing capacity was rated at 5,000 pounds, but that was back in concept stage.


Now as far as it looking like a Titan, I have to call BS on that one.

Hmmmm,

Perhaps the concept version is a gussied up prototype? I wonder how I would know that . . .
