agreed, if they kept it coupe style it would have probably been lighter, and would have sold more IMO

I think the biggest flop would be the Honda Passport. It had good intentions, but never had anything spectacular about it...

Rep Power: 348 Si was definetly a flop. It would have sold more if it had more things going for it like a 6spd or a stronger engine. The fact that it was only available in a hatch didn't help either. There should have been a non-si version of the hatch and the Si.
CRV and Pilot compete in two different markets.

I have to agree with that!

Rep Power: 348 ^ I don't know, I mean, a midsized truck is a great thing especially for Honda. Toyota and Nissan already have real ones.
Insights are cool becuase they get the most MPG's...
Honda should sell the EL here or have something, like have a Civic with all the goodies the EL has.

I would have to say Honda needs to work out their transmission problems.... Honda makes great cars but the trannies on all models seem to be problems sooner or later.

Now look at them. They're VERY successful.
I'd say 90% of the trucks on the road aren't even used to the "truck" potential. How many people do you see drive trucks and never anything in the bed or aren't towing anything 364 days of the year? I see a lot of them.
The Ridgeline is a LIGHT truck. It competes in the LIGHT truck market. I personally think it'll do quite well, esp. if it gets good fuel economy.

Rep Power: 282 discontinuing the integra, redisiging of the 92-95 hatch, and making a comeback with the 2002 si hatch. then i guess the next most importnant would be the redesign of the accord sedan, the accord coupe is awesome looking but sedan is
