Finally!! I knew they would make a real life transformer - is than an autobot or deceptacon?

DAMMIT! I was gonna say that. I believe its a decepticon, then again, if Takumi gets behind the wheel, it could be anything.

Is that the US one? It has a similar engine to the Legend. 3.5L V6 300hp. There is a video of it on the autocross on vtec.net and they were impressed. They said that they were told that they could not participate in the autocross with it because it was a 4x4 but after the organisers took it around the track, they allowed it in!

it needs a metal autobot badge... and a roof mounted laser cannon...and it'd be the real thing

Its the best Honda I've ever seen! It's just what the world was really needed... another big-arsed truck.. :rolleyes: Yet another quality manufacturer who can't resist the temptation to go american... :thumbdwn:

bahahaha... the bad thing is they'll also claim sports heritage and F1 DNA...

but in itself the truck looks pretty good!!! if honda doesnt try to connect it with its heritage (power of dreams) the car is good in itself and wont be cheesy

Now all Honda have to do is convince the American market that Honda's are good, Japanese or not it is just as good as an American Transformer... errrr truck ;) Americans have a hard time dealing with new things!

they actually seem to be selling pretty well over here... I think toyota has done a good job of showing that the Japanese can make good trucks. It'll never pull away the die hard American truck owners, but it seems to be doing well.

hahaha.. well if you had the chance to own an F250 V8 5L diesel truck compared to a Honda Ridgeline V6... which one would you get?

I think even I being a Honda owner would find it difficult to pass up an F250. :P

It has like the best u.s. crash and flip ratings in history or something. i've seen it in person, thinking of getting one in a year maybe. The only other truck I like is the x-runner.
