Three things Honda will most likely screw-up for the next gen.

1- No center armrest console
2-No tailgate lock
3-Pilot looking front end

I hope they are putting a lockable tailgate on the gen2. Almost everyone else has them at this point.

From all the practicalities they put in the first gen RL, that is one of the things they overlooked and most likely will overlook again this time. Even when they offer a Honda tonneau cover as an accessory. They had everything up to room for a full size spare in the trunk or in box to coin and card holders. But no lock... Alas, my guess is that will be another thing they screw-up.:act060:

I would even be willing to trade my cruise control for a TG lock..

I may be thick but I don't exactly understand the importance of a tailgate lock. Unless one has a hard tonneau cover or cap, isn't it like locking the doors on a convertible? Senseless if you leave the top down, and if a soft top, easy to "get into" with a knife......

OTOH a locking trunk makes sense.

You didn't pay attention to my post. "they offer a Honda tonneau cover as an accessory." So if Honda themselves offer this as an accessory, one would thing it would only be common sense they would offer a lock as well.

If I needed a tonneau cover, I'd get an SUV. I like an open bed so I can use it as a truck without having to deal with some kind of cover.

Great for storage if you have kids. Mine is used for hockey gear. With two kids plus my own coaching gear, the tonneau serves its purpose. When I need to get my Honda snowblower serviced, off comes to cover and away I go. Can't do that with the SUV.
