    Two words: Subaru Baja clone (OK, three words.)

    I was hoping Honda would be releasing a REAL truck a la Toyota Tacoma or the
    Nissan Fontier.

    why should Honda build a "real" pickup? Most truck buyers are posers,
    anyway.

    Historically speaking, Honda enters new markets with a niche vehicle, then
    comes out with a mainstream product after recouping their initial R&D and
    Marketing $$. A recent example was the original Odyssey which was too small
    and low volume for the minivan market. Once that broke even, you got the
    real Odyssey we have today. The CRV & Pilot followed the same model.

    Hmmm.... proven RWD engine/tranny combos, eh? Maybe Honda should produce
    the first full-size pickup truck with a 9,000 rpm redline and close-ratio
    six-speed!

    For that matter, so did the very first Civic back in the 1970's.

    Because that is were the market is in the US today, not cars.
    Toyota is way ahead of Honda in that regard and Honda better
    catch up. Even Porsche MB and BMW are building trucks. If you
    want a 'real' pickup, wait a few months for the all new 2004
    F150. Now that's a truck. ;)
