Honda Car Forum

New forum opened up at http://www.ridgelineownersclub and they have
pre-production and concept images. Should be interesting to see the truck
when it's actually on the lots. The concept version looks like a spaceship
inside.

I totally agree with you and not sure where you live, but if I look
around me here in Illinois....big, gas-guzzling trucks are EVERYWHERE.
People don't care about gas prices, the environment or the sticker
price on vehicles. They get what they want and usually bigger seems
better. I'm sure the big trucks are fun to drive off road or in the
snow but only 5%-10% of the time can you even do that around here.

The Ridgeline is simply Honda's attempt to get part of this enormous
market.

I'm still waiting for the Acura version, the Sport Luxury Utility Truck.

Instead of a spaceship, it'll look like a whorehouse inside.
