Working on the trip pictures... Thought this would fit here. We were on the Denali Highway, from Denali towards Paxson. It's about 135 miles of a somewhat paved, somewhat managed, 1.5 lane road. Our "tour" was to go half way out, to the Alpine Creek Lodge- do some activities then come back. That trip was first day of Moose season.
Every pull-off on the road was filled with pickups and empty trailers. Mostly ATV/UTV, if it was a river, maybe a boat, then... one of these... A Kubota Sherp
The owner was talking to our group at the rest stop --- yes, those 3 port-a-johns - they're the rest stop!
The fuel tanks are in the wheel hubs. They hold about 200 gallons of Diesel
It runs on a 2.4L Turbo Diesel
Front door as you can see, and the back has a door too
It holds 4 people for up to about 2 weeks. I'd assume they tent/camp outside when possible.
They run the tires at like 10psi to be able to go anywhere
Runs about $100K.

I know this is a Honda loving platform but the buzz I am hearing for anyone who loves small hot hatchbacks with manual tranny's (ralper comes to mind) the new Toyota GR Corolla is really going to be a big hit. Sorry Honda.

So many ugly front grilles on many cars these days, I don't what designers are thinking. That could be a nice vehicle outside of the front end. It looks like they used the animal world as an inspiration - barracuda fish.

There is some buzz about an Acura Integra Type S with spyshots being posted on the internet. If it comes to fruition it will be a hatchback too - front wheel drive though.

Bringing back the name does not bring back the spark. The new 2022/23 Integra is fat and has no pazzzas.
