Honda to Expand SC Plant for "Next Gen. of SxS"

Found this on a Big Red site.

If it's not a new sport sxs at least their bringing some jobs to the US out of Mexico.

If Honda makes a side by side somewhat near the current others then the competition might as well go ahead and get ready for Chapter 13

I'm praying they are! If so mine will be at the dealer as soon it's it's announced. Heck even if it's something like a Rhino I'll take it, that's better then the Big Red. I'm in the same boat as Hump getting tired of working on the rzr after every ride for stuff that should last.

Honda has really missed out on the SPORT/UTILITY UTV market. One of the best built atv's on the market and if they do a sport utv, it should be a heck of a machine for sure.

I just hope they fired the design team that did the BIG RED and do something cool looking.

if it is as tough as the atv's then it should last forever! I would switch in a heartbeat

I read a couple weeks ago somewhere that Honda had 1 of every SxS at their Marysville Ohio plant. Of course that was coming from "someones buddy" that works there. Weather it's true or not who knows. I can't see them sitting back and letting the other manufactures make all the money on SxS's.

I've beat on Honda dirt bikes and 4 wheelers for years, and nothing holds up better. I'm looking forward to beating on a Honda sport sxs.

I would be a customer if honda or yamaha would come out with a competitive sport oriented sxs.

I love my rzr...I love my rzr...I love my rzr..

All my Motorcycle racing years where on Honda's

best built and tough as nails.

Hope they do something Sporty

years ago I had a Honda Oddessey, 350 two stroke. If they had stayed with
that aspect and added to it they were set to be first.
later thay changed it to the pilot and then nothing.

that oddessey was fun, just not 4x4....but would fly!!!!

Oddessey with twin motor and the rincon auto up and down drive would be pretty hard to beat .... IF they will build one.

Sounds good -- bring back the Honda Pilot with 2 seats & 4x4. Oh hell, add the CBR 1000 motor to it as well.

I bet them Japs have been laying back and watching what works and what don't, what performs and don't, and what is unreliable on each sxs out there now. They have let everyone else go 1st and make all the mistakes so they know what not to do.

I don't think it will be a utility sxs, because I bet the big red is the absolute best utility only sxs built now. I think they will bring us something really high tech with lots of good features. May not be the fastest, but will be a hard to beat total package.

How about a pilot with a v65 v4 power.
