DAMN, THAT THING IS HIDEOUS!!!
Honestly, though. I cant believe how bad that looks.
They will at least clean it up before they produce it hopefully.
As far as the American trucks being sentenced to death by new
Japanese trucks. I dont buy it. Toyota has been making trucks for
a long time and still does not have a significant portion of the market.
America makes some good trucks, just admit it. The new F150 has no
equal. If Honda is going to compete with the Big 3, the truck will at least
have to be as good at towing and off road as the competition.
If it is really based off of the CRV, it wont cut it.
My 2 cents

Nissan is also somewhat upsizing their Frontier pickup to fit into the Dodge Dakota type market, not a full size but not a compact pickup. I have my 4WD Clubcab Dakota set up to haul 5000# trailer and carry 1500# in the bed. That's with the 3.9L V6 and a 5speed manual transmission. V8's can pull more due to higher torque numbers.
I will be seriously looking at the Nissan this year.
