I'm not sure if you guys saw this.



<B>Acura announced December 13, 2001 that it will debut its RD-X concept SUV (shown in this artist drawing), which combines street performance of a sports coupe with the ruggedness of a SUV, at the 2002 North American International Auto Show in January. The RD-X features a unique 2+2 configuration, which can seat four or, with the rear seats folded away, provide abundant room for bicycles, snowboards and other weekend getaway essentials. A wide-mouth rear opening features innovative doors that open by sliding out and to the side for easy access in tight, urban quarters. REUTERS/HO Honda </B>

That is a pretty cool SUV (the Honda Pilot) ... maybe that will be a good "wife car" when she is ready to move on from the Odyssey. Not sure that will occur - that is a nice van ...

Let's home Honda/Acura are saving a few surprises on the 03 CLS 6MT too

Boy, those rims would scratch really easily...I think the designers have been reading too many comic books.

Fast Forward to 2006 and I may be interested in trading my 2003 in on one of those suckers.

Of course it will be AUTOMATIC ONLY and I’ll lose my shirt in 2007 when the 8-Speed manual comes out.

Isn't this Honda Pilot, the Honda SUV that is supposed to be based on Acura MDX?!!!

We all heard about such SUV coming from honda to replace the Honda Passport, right ?

Wxguy95

Yeah I would guess the Pilot is the Passport replacement.

Intresing the RD-X looks real similar to last years Infiniti's FX concept they are bring out in a year as the FX45.

Of course, it could be the same artist.
