Default When are new Hondas anounced ????

Yikes!!! NOT a 2WD! I cannot do without a 4WD, and it would be a great disappointment to, shudder, consider going to a Ranger (I believe the only side-by-side out there with fuel injection at the moment?) Reconranger, sure wish you would have brought along camera/telephoto and captured some shots for us! However, I do hear better things of Polaris lately. Honda would have a winner if they would come out with a 4WD side-by-side that is smaller and lighter than the Ranger. The Polaris is nearly Jeep size.

You know, Honda recently announced their electric power steering for ATV sized machines. Wouldn't it be slick if Honda incorporated it into the side-by-side, along with FI and an IRS Rubicon drive train? Am I asking for the sky?

That's what I'm thinking, a new Pilot/Odyssey with a MAJOR overhaul.

I'm hoping they come out with a more sport type model and a 4wd model. I doubt it tho.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]


I don't know if I like the power steering, I kind of like my off road machines simple. It's cheaper and easier to fix.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Good point on the power steering, although Honda rarely produces problems. Yep, a light and agile machine would not require it. I hope we both get our wish in regard to the 2WD/4WD issue.

There was an article, on a side by side in a mag. back in April, I believe. Called the "Hippo"!!! I think it was a joke, though.

Yes, unfortunately a joke. Only a few days to wait in regard to new models, but the hours seem endless. Just a few minutes ago was looking at other UTV's on the Internet. All have shortcomings. Honda could steal the marketplace with the right machine! On the plus side, Honda is about the only manufacturer one can buy a first-year machine from with confidence.

Like I said, I didn't get a good look, but the machines looked radical from a distance! The return of the Pilot/Odyssey????
I can assure you that a magazine is not going to get an all new unit before Honda shows it to their dealers at the dealer show in a week. I have went to a number of Honda's dealer shows and they always show their new products the night of the first day of the show. That night you will be able to find information online about any new products. So keep an eye out the night of the 6th. Hope this helps.
