Looked at one briefly in a showroom.  I may be getting old but I found the entire truck overstyled and too gimmicky (busy) for my liking. Lots of aluminum coloured plastic on the dash. I dunno I think I prefer the Gen II that was around in the early 90's. The limited was just over $50k.

+1 on the tranny issues. A highschool classmate had one from the early 90s - an automatic and he had issues with the tranny. It ended up being fatal I believe. The vehicle had a zillion kms on it (think he bought it in 2002 or 2003) so he ended up scrapping it.
My other Honda is an MP4-31!

Same here.  I made that same comment to my wife yesterday after having a quick peak at one.  I really liked the Gen II's other than the 3.0's fuel economy.
