To our disappointment very little was changed in the 2010 Big Red. We had an awesome list of features and changes we were hoping to see next year, but evidently Honda never got it In fact really the only change that stands out is the new “Olive” color Honda has introduced. We are still waiting for all of the specs and will have a follow up article published soon. Here are the release notes from Honda. “Introducing the 2010 Big Red, a Side-by-Side workhorse built the Honda way. With industry leading safety features like three-point Emergency Locking Retractor seatbelts, separate brake lines that keep your brakes working even if a line gets severed, and a wide stance for a stable ride, it’s the Multipurpose Utility Vehicle (MUV) that only Honda could build. Its multiple patents and numerous automotive-based technology features—not to mention Honda’s renowned quality, fit and finish—separate it from all other contenders. Thanks to its superior handling, secure feel and comfortable ride, Big Red has quickly set new standards of performance for both utility and recreational riders. A full line of more than 30 high-quality Honda Genuine Accessories is also available for Big Red, including windshields, tops and bumpers. For 2010, a new Olive color joins Red and Natural Gear Camouflage. In dealerships September 2009. MSRP: $11,699.00 (Olive)”
