Wow, I just saw this thing, and honestly am dissapointed.

I figured Honda would make a good entrance with an empressive RUV to compete with others.

Instead they bring in this thing? Pretty ugly...

It doesnt look bad to me. The tires look under sized on it though. Bigger tires it would look a lot better.

That's funny. When the announcement was made about Honda releasing a side-by-side, somebody mentioned the name "Honda Hippo".

When pictures were finally released, it made it even more funny. It will be forever known in my mind as the Honda Hippo.

it looks like they were aiming to compete in the mule market, not the rhino/razr market. hopefully the aftermarket will help that thing out.

Exactly, Honda has always been about what sells, not what's cool. Look at the 400EX, people may wonder why it's still for sale with the 450's out, but I bet they still sell a ton of 400EX's. That thing is obviously aimed at the mule market, because there are probably a lot more people who actually use those things on farms etc, than there are people who race rhinos/razrs.
