Interesting. Should be more useful than the SSR. -juice |

Its coming and it looks like a baby MDX with suicide doors according to Motortrend. Basically a luxury Element with hybrid drivetrain. I expect the Element by 2006 to get painted cladding as a LX model and get a whole bunch more interested buyers. Even though it will cost thousands more for the paint. It does not matter how much you market the thing as tough and rugged people still want to wax and shine and preen over their SUVs. Shiny paint helps that. I know I own an Element and all the owners baby their things. http://motortrend.com/future/spied/112_0308_news_sketch/ |

Wondering if anyone has info on the the Freestyle. Is it going to happen? Stopped by a Ford dealer recently and curiously, none of the sales people even heard of it. They insisted I was talking about the Freestar. Had to sit them down at their on computers and point it out online. BTW the BMW 5 wagon above looks like a hearse. |

| Thanks, Revka. Missed it. Will go there. | |

I don't see how the RDX does anything the MDX can't do better. I dunno, maybe it'll be sportier, like the FX45 is. -juice |

 I didn't find any posts about this after a brief search. Does anyone have any comments on an upcoming Honda "truck"? What makes a truck a "truck"? Is it the bed? Must it have a 1/2-ton minimum carrying capacity? Body-on-frame construction? Is an El Camino a "truck"? How about a Subaru Baja? |

That sketch is very aggressive looking. I think the actual one will basically be a Pilot with a small bed in place of its 3rd row and enclosed cargo hold. It should still be a unibody, indy rear suspension, basically a light duty car-based crew cab, would be my guess. The 3.5l engine has adequate power, but payload and towing will be limited compared to body-on-frame trucks. What makes a truck a truck. Well, it's pretty arbitrary nowadays. The PT Cruiser is a truck only because it's rear seat is removeable. The Baja is considered a truck because is has a seperate bed, even though it's also a car-based unibody. IMO, both of those are a mix of the two, or crossovers, if you will. -juice |
