i think this would be much more difficult to pull off than the xB truck. and who's going to fabricate the plastic piece on the top that wraps around where the back window is and make it look good? no one. that design isn't going to work. plus someone has already actually made an bB truck so it's nothing new.

oh wait, i forgot...scion copied honda.

I agree with that one. If they actually made a truck after many many years in business, they would need to get rid of the plastic. It would help it to look more clean.

Looks like it is. They call me the post *****, but I have only brought a few posts back form the dead. I guess they might be trying to help me get a higher count.

This one's not in import tuner, but it is a honda p/u (concept)
