Honda's achilles heel has been the auto tranny, good to hear that this one will have a 6-speed, hope it's as good as (dare I say better than) a ZF unit.

Though the front looks a bit odd. Overall shape is fantastic. For ppl who think vehicle only for getting pt A to B, please don't blog here. Go get a Kancil & use it for the rest of your life! Ppl pays mega bucks for Cayenne is not stupid. And all premium car makers also come out with coupe SUV are not stupid either!! Next new trend is already here long ago- FAST - SPORTY - SAFETY - GO ANYWHERE - CARRY ANYTHING - ALL IN ONE!! I think the rear bum looks cool. Though the front looks a bit odd.
