Default So, uhhh, who else besides me wants a Ridgeline?

OK so I got the first good look at Honda's first truck ever today during the Super Bowl and I want one. For $27K its a pretty nice truck in my opinion.



255hp VTEC V6, kinda wished it had a V8 but we all know Honda wouldn't jump that far in one leap. I'm gonna go check one out in March, me and the wife have been discussing me getting something a little more family friendly. But I still get to keep the Civic.

I wouldnt classify it as a "work truck" but for hauling the kids, and getting grocerys, doing light hauls, it would be alright.


is the restraunt open yet?

ps - looks like a wannabe caddy escalade sxt or whatever, and doesnt have enough bed.

pps - beds are supposed to be seperate pieces so that i can take it off and put a flatbed on, or tube out the entire rear chassis.

Not too bad its kinda like buying a tacoma or something along those lines but it would be kick *** if they threw in a big diesel motor instead. I guess its just not for the redneck muddin' type that think they need the biggest gas guzzling motor they can find. To sum it up I would sport one

I think you are thinkin of d16z6forlife or someone else. I'm not opening a restaurant any time soon.

But anyway, this truck isn't out there to compete with the F250 Powerstrokes, its out there to compete with the T-100's and the Frontier's. I like it.
