Whats nuts is how the hell the Honda Insight outsold the Prelude last year. That Insight has to be the ugliest car I've ever seen, I don't care if it gets 60 mile per gallon..

It'll probably be a down graded version much like the Accord Coupe vs. the CL.

It will be intesting to see what they take out of the MDX to get the cost down. They've always taken a Honda (Civic or Accord) and refined it and added stuff like leather, power seats, better suspension, more HP, etc. to get an Integra/RSX or CL/TL. I guess the navi will be the first to go.

Because they will most likely make a lot of money. SUV's are such hot sellers there is no reason for them to NOT make a Honda version.

Plus they can drop the Passport if they choose. It's built by Isuzu anyhow.

Makes perfect sense to me

My dealer said the Honda version of the MDX will have the same engine just no leather - navi - or all of the little features like HID, heated seats ......

The MDX is getting a V8 next year.
