Two things, Honda would’ve probably made something similar to the trooper and the 4Runner as they were made to be more comfortable daily drivers that could off-road. 2. American companies invested in and allowed the smaller 4,5, and 6 cylinder diesels to exist from the start.
@tylergreen3035 Yea if America would've embraced small diesels we could've had some cool vehicles. In my scenario, Honda is making a solid axle could sprung Land Cruiser competitor. I think if they would've been around in the 40s when Toyota was making the first Land Cruiser for the Japanese military and would've put in a bid to win that contract we might have had that Honda 4x4 today. That company is every bit as capable as Toyota and Nissan at engineering and making quality vehicles, so I don't see why they couldn't have if the company was only 20 years older. Alas, we have the Honda Passport and a Trooper with a Honda badge in it.

For my money - that biodiesel hadn't been legislated out of existence, and continued to make progress as a viable fuel source.
@@snoproblem Amen! It feels like things are being forced in a certain direction without solid logic backing it
