for the US market beside the new Odsyssey. Any chance will see an Accord
wagon?

A four door pickup based on the Pilot.

Do you believe a pick up based on a FWD car chassis will
sell to truck buyers?

I believe Honda knows more about the car and truck market than you do.

If they brought that back, it'd be awesome.

That may be. I believe that Honda will learn the hard way, as
Toyota did with the T100 and Subaru has with the Baja, that if
you expect to sell trucks to truck buyers and not just to woman
you better build a real truck.

It doesn't have to.

Why did you make the ASSumption that something that vaguely resembles a
truck must therefore be marketed to Joe Redneck to replace his F150?

That's the same thinking that made all the senseless CRV noise back in
97, when people heard it drove all wheels and therefore insisted on
comparing it to a jacked-up Jimmy.

Fact: Honda will sell all of these 4 door truck things they can make,
and they will be able to keep the price way up, too. It's the next
Odyssey--a market that hasn't been touched yet by Honda and which Honda
buyers want.

People said that about SUV's off car chassis.....but look at the success of
the Pilot, Highlander, CRV, RAV4, and others. Don't forget about the El
Camino and Ranchero of years past.
