I don't know if you guys have ever seen this site before but it shows that Honda has acquired the name "Latitude" for an upcoming model. Check it out here:

Very cool site. BMW has also taken M2, M6, 4 series, and 6 series...I would say we are in for some ass kicking Bimmers.

The CITY PAL, MON PAL reserved by Honda are confusing to me...are they scooter names or what?

QX56 was also taken by Nissan...what a weird name for a large SUV above the FX45.

I like "Kahuna" by DCX. Maybe it'll be a large SUV based on the Ram, above the Durango? I think they're missing the boat by a few years. The name could fit it well though.

I know this is off-topic of Honda and Acura, but with Dodge supposedly planning to rid itself of the Intrepid name with the upcoming LX cars, I think Victory would be a great name. Perfect for NASCAR, and it wouldn't tarnish the Charger name (which should be on the Coupe only).

It isn't off topic at all bro. Whatever they call it, the only similarity between it and its NASCAR counterpart will be that they have 4 wheels and a steering wheel. I am so sick of Dodge/Ford continuously using the NASCAR's to sucker in consumers. Racing is supposed to be for technical development...I'm still unsure what can be learned from small block pushrod V8s with 40 year old technology.

I didn't notice that, but a "name" would not be in the lineup as they go with alphaneumerics now. I have no idea about that.

But the EL is just a luxurious Civic...it'd be absolutely nuts to sell it in the same showroom as the Civic.

no, I meant that since the EL would be no more (the TSX would replace it), canada wouldnt have a canadian built car anymore, so the "veloz" would be a completely new vehicle, or one based off of another, to be built in canada, and sold in canada under the Honda name. It wouldnt be the EL
