    2009 Big Red, huh?

    http://powersports.honda.com/2008models/#BigRed

    Naturally I fell out of my chair when I saw this, then I remembered Honda's propensity for reusing names for vehicles that used to be cool. Honda Odyssey anyone? Also, aren't they using the same logo?

    I think I'm offended rather than honored. Just doesn't seem right somehow....

    I wouldn't go that far...i'm actually in the market for something like this. Honda's never made one before, so it might be interesting. I was just taken aback at their reusing the name of a classic....

    honda followed the wrong model when making this...too much like a mule and a polaris, not enough like a rhino....

    but something like 70% of honda's sales go to agriculture...so I suppose you can't argue with the majority, this will fit their needs...just no one else's.
