2014 Honda Escape - Honday finally wakes up!

Looks a lot like a Ranger, but at least it's not pure utility like the Big Red.

And there's a 4-seater version:

Honda's website for it. Note MSRP has not been announced.

I would have to say it is a step in the right direction, but a very long way for them to go. It definitely resembles a Ranger in a lot of ways. I like the ability to flip up the seats when needed.

IMO, they're not targeting the full-sport riders whether duners or trail riders. They're targeting those of us who use them around the house, yet still want to go trail riding, hunting, etc... much like the original Rhino and Teryx. They're late, but they bring the Honda reputation for rock-solid reliability.

John Deere seems to be doing well with their new sport-ute, and I think these Hondas will sell also...

Too much to ask to add an extra cylinder to go along with all that extra weight?
Honda makes a fantastic machine. I am sure it will sell.

You can bet its built well....

I can't wait to see how these hold up, I'm keeping the Ranger for about two more years. That should give these plenty of field test time.
