The concept vehicle was also a parts-bin special thrown together in record time with the rear suspension of a Buick Rendezvous. In production it was a unit modified from the STS and SRX.

Honda was getting left behind with new fuel costs, CO2 tax, and economy in Europe because they lacked a diesel.

You can get it back - someone is selling a non fire-starting version with Hyundai branding on eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/185838831168
