Wow, I didn;t actaully think they would make that, my friend worked at alliston when they where taking apart an X5 to see all the nitty gritty. The only honda plant with snow days, lol.

Well, I would never really buy a Jap truck to begin with and now they expect ppl to buy a unibody jap truck. Well, it will sell, there are a LOT of dumbasses in north america.

That picture is the concept version. The actual production is a little different, still a little ugly, but I kinda like it. Temple of Vtec has some more spy shots of the truck.

Motor is most likely gonna be the 3.5L V6 255hp like in the Odyssey/Pilot. Early info says that the towing capacity is like 5000 pounds (same as V6 Tacoma).

This thing is definitely a 'city truck' not a 'let's get drunk, go muddin', jump some ditches' truck.

I think it will be popular with all the soccer moms who think they need a 3/4 ton Diesel truck to get milk, but get tired of the noise.

I was really pumped about the upcoming release of the truck, but if you read my topic from this morning, it really doesn't matter to me anymore what it turns out like.

Franks Review (mine)
the "ridgeline" is what honda is calling it.

unibody and the wimpy 3.5 ltr from the pilot it is Vtec I think ;D -with 255hp

it is 4 wheel indepent suspension. ::thumbsup::

honda says they arent targeting it for a "truck" rather a SUV concept with a bed. comfort over practically

tranny, i think its a 5sp auto, or AWD.

really, its just gonna be a target like the element. the element is geared twords the "surfer and younger generation" and the ridgeline is a "family comfort and style" pickup. :P

here is the one honda will have at sema

Well i think its a nice truck... not the nicest but put other wheels and paint it black and its a new truck. After seeing crap like Aztec, santa fee, new durango, GM cheap plastic replica of Cadillac suv... its their first attempt in the Honda line-up!

i think we are not accustomed to the new styling... i remeber when i was in high school i liked eg hatch so much but when ek hatch styling appear i tough it was so ugly but since 2 or 3 year i really like that body style (ek).
