It was replaced in 2003 by the Honda Pilot, a crossover utility vehicle that shared some of the underpinnings of the Honda Odyssey... Unlike the Pilot, which followed the lead of the Toyota Highlander in putting a mid-size crossover body on the underpinnings of what was essentially a car, the Passport was built on a rear-wheel-drive truck chassis with all-wheel drive as an option. The Passport was actually a re-badged Isuzu Rodeo , a truck-based SUV built in Indiana, at a plant that Subaru and Isuzu shared at the time. The first generation Passport, sold from 1994 through 1997, offered a choice of a 120-horsepower 2. 6-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, or a 175-hp 3. 2-liter V-6--and an available four-speed automatic transmission. The four-door sport-utility vehicle came standard with a 205-hp 3. 2-liter V-6, matched with a five-speed manual gearbox on base versions, though a four-speed automatic transmission was also available.
