Haha ya it isn't a design you see everyday. It was actually designed to look like a mid engine sports car. I've also owned a MK2 Toyota MR2, and I compare it to that in terms or looks (or what they were going for). Actually the rear shelf compartments are nearly the same between the Del Sol and MR2.

What really makes these cars special is the driving position, interior, and just how fun the car is to drive at any speed. It has the best seats, the best driving position (sitting down low, shifter at steering wheel level, dash envelops you), and is probably the most enjoyable FWD Honda from the 1990's. Even though it only has 100hp you feel like you are driving a dedicated sports car, something all my Civic's over the years could not replicate.

No plans to make it into a truck, as I already have a truck when I need one.
