Honda Already Has - IMO
Here's what we bought last Spring. Not your boring old Honda CR-V. Ours is stylin'.

And I like the Interior even better.

It's still ugly
although a bit better IMNSHO. Although nothing else in their lineup compares to the Ridgeline for fuglyness (heck, it's worse than the original Chevy Avalanche, although not quite in the category of the Aztek or Fiat Multipla), not even the Element.
Honda also doesn't like more cylinders, e.g. even Toyota is sticking a V-6 in their cute-ute, Acura doesn't have any V-6's, and the Ridgeline is V-6 only.
Toyota will soon become the world's largest car maker. If they can get their styling act together, they'll be really really scary...to their competitors. (I'm not a Toyota fan, either; I've got an old but trusty Nissan and a new but so far very good Mazda.)

Right, I'm not an arrogant euro-weenie
but I appreciate good style, wherever it comes from. In cars, the Euros do some very nice stuff (especially at the high end, with exceptions such as the Porsche Cayenne), but they also do some of the ugliest cars in the world, such as the Multipla.

Is that "misplaced" as in "lost"?
Because no one would "find" themselves in Finland (except perhaps for the 2 months and three weeks when the sun is above the horizon...).
