I think this will be a pretty good seller actually. Combining all the advantages of an SUV with a sedan. Will satisfy those that want the extra room but dont want a minivan or SUV. I'm a little iffy on the looks, but I have a feeling this might look better in person, especially in a different color with different wheels. Honda's usually have a pretty refined look in real life.

What? Honda basically succeeded in making a cheaper, uglier version of the ZDX.

They just copied & pasted the press release from the ZDX. It's sad the Civic Coupe is the best looking car in Honda's current lineup.

It looks like a Scirocco got beat with the Honda be-good stick...

The Odyssey looks 100x better, pity it doesn't have VTM-4...

Now these are a proper Honda wagon - I couldn't find the 4th/5th gen ones:

Venza works better.

Hopefully this thing doesn't sell like the EX thing.

The Venza to me is a sexier Sienna, Phil. It makes the real Sienna(the Toyota one, not Sienna Miller) look like Rosie O'Donnell

The Venza is much smaller inside than a Sienna. It actually competes more with the Subaru Outback than the Sienna.

Look at that tacked-on massive beak-like grill, unique and ugly at the same time.

The ZDX is allegedly priced between the MDX and RL. I certainly hope this Beast isn't more than a Pilot.

This is going to be my next vehicle. I don't care how much it costs.

All I need to do is put on some smaller wheels and raise it up about an inch, and it'll be perfect!
