I give up. What is/are MSPIGS?
 
This is the CHEVY Avalanche Fan Club after all!!! Honda has moved up in the number of units manufactured rankings, but GM is still number 1!!! :B:
 
FWIW, I think it's a step ahead of the Element in the looks department (y)

I don't think we'll see a "second rate auto manufacturer" copying that thing. It's not even popular with its target demographic. Looks like Honda's got its share of "second rate" marketing people!!! :love: :B:

I stand corrected. I do think Vibe's are nice looking, and they don't even have to be next to an Element for me to think that!!! :love:
 
BTW (Ghost) I'll be in Ft. Laud. (Plantation) Christmas. Keep your eyes peeled for an '03LPM ;D

HE HE No joke Bonedog I just ran over a Honda on thursday afternoon.

Hit it backing up out of a parking space and NEVER saw the little thing. took out the front finder and the front bumper. update on my truck. NOTHING wrong.
I think all those kind of cars should have one of those YELLOW flags bolted on them. You know the ones for bikes that way truck folks like us can see them coming..

Some folks that saw the whole tying told the cops it looked like a monster truck show.

The word is as I've heard is that this is not an "if" but a when. It is suppose to be based on the Honda Pilot chassis (I believe that is the larger Acura SUV chassis also). So one can conclude that it won't have the cargo, towing or off-road ability of the Avalanche but will be more civilized so to speak on the street. I think Honda/Acura has tweaked 270 HP out of the V-6 under the hood - have to admit that is impressive numbers. Actually the big Acura SUV was my second choice behind the Avalanche.

The other word that I've heard is that it is almost a DIRECT copy of the Avalanche, right up to the butress on the C-pillars.

What do I say?

Immitation or parody is the sincerest form of adoration - so it's a major nod to the design success. Remember folks - A LOT of people said this truck would never sell. Honda coming out with a photocpy of the Avalanche means that Nissan and Toyota will be looking hard - as will Ford and Dodge - as Honda is a force to be noticed in the automotive industry.

I'm thrilled actually - because I love being able to go - damn it we were right! (we being us brave 2001 buyers)
