Looks pretty light duty, at least it looks better than a Dodge. Kind of like all Honda vehicles too clean, kind of generic, trying not to be to bold and offend anyone. A soccer mom's Truck maybe, no offense girls.

As much as it pains me to say this... for what it was built for it looks to be nice. Its great for a soccer mom/dad, but for me its missing a lot

for ex.
1. its missing some cylinders and displacement
2. transverse mounted engine
3. awd that has a fwd bias (the rear wheel's don't even see power unless it detects sliping)
4. I can't get used to that honda interior
5. every time i look at it i can't help but think honda=civic

I am curious on how the rear independent suspension will work out. If anything i hope it forces the other truck makers to step up

For the love of God; some one photoshop the pics of it. It needs a wing.



And a big exhaust tip.

it looks to me as if it is a unibody construction, instead of a conventional body on frame.

I thought it'd be more of a truck than that,considering what they're competing against. It's kind of a pseudo truck,IMO. Titan was the last Japaneese entry and that is quite a truck. Honda has good quality but it does seem like they are reluctant to really jump out sometimes.
