Sandman, those Japs really know how to re-invent American products.

On the one hand, this statement is rather offensive...

On the other, take a good look at Ford... Seems that outside of SUVs and Mustangs, everything they have looks like a Nissan or a Toyota.

Hell half the Fords are thinly disguised Mazdas.
GM makes trucks with Honda engines.
Chrysler is a Daimler Benz puppet.
Put a fork in the Big Three, they are done.

I really hate it when I agree with Funked.

I thought GM used Isuzu engines (Diesels) in their trucks. Did honda design the 5.2 liters?

And... what did you expect out of the H2? Gimme a stripped down government surplus humvee any day.

Lava soap, hot water and plenty of borboun will make you feel better.

It's quite easy to bend your steering rod in real 4WDs too, friend noticed this when he was driving in a jamboree in Russia with his Volvo C303.

My 96 S10 had an Isuzu 4-banger in it. Isuzu also has the same body on their Hombré pickup.

Diesel engine is a joint venture between GM and Isuzu. The 5.2L is a chrysler engine, 318 block. Then GM V8 that you're thinking of is a 5.3, roughly equivalent to a 327 block. The Tracker still has the Isuzu made 2.0L 4cyl and the 2.5L 6cyl.

Funked, the only SUV I can think of that might have a Honda V6 would be Saturns' little entry. I don't really know anything about it though.
