Default Wimpy Look?

I'm a long-time, ride-red Honda fan and I was thrilled back when Honda announced they would have a big-bore 4x4 to compete. Finally! Then, when I saw my first picture of the new Rincon.......I was kind of disappointed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]. There are gonna be many different opinions on this, but am I really the only one that thinks the look of the Rincon and new Rancher AT are becoming a little too........weak? I'm mainly focusing on the Rincon, because the Rancher looks ok. Don't get me wrong, this new style is cool, but for a quad? The Foreman and the Rubicon are what I perceive in my mind to be the look of the ultimate utility 4x4. It's almost like you wouldn't want to get the Rincon dirty. The earlier model Honda utilities just seem to look right when they're caked with mud.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I think the front end of the Rincon and Rancher AT look very agressive.

I agree, and those pictures you posted are the coolest ever! That is the coolest quad. I f I ever buy a Rincon I'll make it like that.

I agree with you. Something about that Japanese style SUV look. It just doesn't trip my trigger. Even the new p-700 look lost some of its' edge. I did see an aftermarket bumper at the excel dealership in Denver that made the honda rincon look a little tougher. It just looks too plasticy and not woods ready.
