Quote from: Solstice2006 on January 16, 2014, 11:48:37 amYeah I know, I suspect this had to with the ongoing interest in trucks. All the redesigns of the other models, now the midsizes, Honda probably figures if they redesign it, they might get a piece of the pie. Problem is, they should have done this 1 year ago, at least.They really need to do it right, a non offensive design, and cylinder deactivation. We won't get a diesel from Honda, so I won't even ask....I think it's only around because Honda of America wants a pickup. Japan likely would have killed it.With a unibody pickup, they're stuck with the flying buttress c-pillars. The rest of it they could modernize. Up until now, it really hasn't had a fuel economy advantage over full size pickups. With traditional pickups getting more fuel efficient, it's going to get squeezed even harder. The new GM mid-sizers aren't going to help.I think it's in a tough spot.

The flying buttress will be gone according to this. The pic doesn't show much but it reveals a more conventional design:
