Someone who's come up with something that might prompt me to trade in my trusty Rhino 450. Honda has really stepped it up in the sport/ute category, IMO. 999cc, 6 speed dual-clutch (no belt, no power-robbing torque converter, and serious engine braking), high/low range (which was missing on the Pioneer 700), with 4 wheel diff-lock and turf mode. Add the Pioneer's nifty convertible bed seats in 1000-5 model with a decent looking external roll cage, and IMO, this thing could potentially set a new standard for sport/utes! Some of us still work more with our SxS than play, though we do enjoy playing in the woods.

IMO the suspension still looks like the same old-tech that has 3" of travel lol....not sport enough for me...but Honda has came a long way since the Big Red.

10.5 front and 10 rear. Not bad for sport ute. I want to see how that automatic rear leveling system works...
