Honda is reportedly ready to reintroduce a name that hasn't been in the lineup for 16 years, the Passport, as a two-row crossover. The first Passport, introduced in 1994, was honestly a proof of concept, as the automaker wanted to see the public's reaction to a Honda SUV. They borrowed a vehicle made by Isuzu, the Rodeo, and rebadged it as a Honda and sold it for eight years. It served its purpose quite well.
