Yes, agreed, Honda planned it well. EXCEPT, they overlooked one major
detail: Design. The Ridgeline is ugly! Even the article nailed it --
"Japanese Avalanche" -- and, IMO, that's not a compliment! (IMO, the
Chevy Avalanche is only slightly less ugly [couldn't use "slightly
_prettier_ than"] than the Pontiac Aztec.

And this critique is coming from someone who recently purchased a
you-either-love-it-or-hate Honda Element.
