Honda, go kick some Toyota and Nissan but!
Go do it in the pickup market (and we ain't talking SUV, we talking pickup, and if you don't know the dif, then we can't sell you a clue).
Toyota Tacoma = great small pickup that has an OEM supercharger
Toyota Tundra = killer full size pickup with a great V8
Nissan Frontier = good small pickup that looks like crap
Nissan ? = full size rumored to come

Personally, I don't think Honda is going to do well with a "little Hummer".In any case, here are some Model X pics...

For what it is worth, a friend of mine who is a general manager of an Acura dealership, said when the Model X comes to market as a production vehicle, there will be a pickup variation to follow.
Now lets just hope it gets better looking.
He also said the Pilot is huge, as in the full-size Toyota Sequoia.

For what it is worth as rumors go...
Yes the Pilot is big. The NSX will be a V8 in a steel body when it is updated. The Pilot will get a modified version of this V8 in time, think V10 Viper and V10 Dodge Ram- not the same engine but development costs are lower than designing two completely different engines.
The Model X is small and Honda will start with their first pickup being small so they can compete against the Frotier and Tacoma. I sure hope these rumors pan out. I'm very tired of my Nissan pickup.
