Re: Honda Pickup Truck
Because that is were the market is in the US today, not cars.
Toyota is way ahead of Honda in that regard and Honda better catch up. Even Porsche MB and BMW are building trucks. If you want a 'real' pickup, wait a few months for the all new 2004 F150. Now that's a truck. ;) mike hunt Jeff Tamblyn wrote: > > why should Honda build a "real" pickup? Most truck buyers are posers, > anyway. |
