I doubt anybody bought it thinking it was a work truck. Honda salespeople are taught to emphasize the car-like ride of the unibody construction. The marketing material never shows much more than a dirt bike in the back or towing anything more than 2 Honda watercraft. I've seen quite a few at the local transfer station, so it's bought by folks who occassionally need something to haul trash or other nasty dirty light stuff. The most important factor to these buyers is the Honda name.
