The Ridgeline is the automotive press' darling. I'll never for the life of me understand it, especially when the public has spoken, and they ain't buyin'.
Why do u try to understand it if it is NOT GM... ?? U are hurting urself.
U won't live long like this.
Once again, "Don't try to understand anything that is not GM." Got it? or did I confuse you more?
I mean u r confused enough about life already.

I am sure if they put these features in your GM crap, they will go very far....

Why r u not famous?
U must be doing something wrong.
I mean u seem to act very smart and know what the truck industry should or should not do.
Hey Rav, how about you quick fucking up every damn post in this forum? Sheesh! I'm trying to read posts about trucks and vehicles and all your doing is cutting down what other people say? Let him post his "GM fanboy" shit or whatever you want to call it and IGNORE IT! The post will move on.
I'm sure you'll tear me apart now. Go ahead. It'll just make you look more like an asshole.
Tell ya what, I won't even bother to read your response.

I use the ignore list for a couple of members. You should try it as well.
Anyways, i am not a truck guy so i don't know what most people look for in a truck. From the reviews i have read, the editors call the truck a suburban guy's truck. So basically if you own a construction company you are not really looking to get the Ridgeline, but if you tend to go to home depot from time to time for some minor stuff the truck will be good for you. That's the basic jist that i get.

Thanks for the tip. I have well over 3K posts at a "classic truck" forum and quite a few at another and this is the first time I've ever even considered using this. Works like charm though

I've always thought that about it too (not that it's a bad thing, there's a lot of hot chicks out there driving full and midsize trucks! )

Can you somewhat verify this??? I know sales were bad... but to scrap the whole project? Not 100% on this but I've "heard" that mitsubishi has already nixed the "raider" pick-up (I personally don't think it will be missed.)

Yes. Can u verify this?
I just called the HONDA dealer. They have not heard about any such thing...
Honda worked hard for the truck and they can't just dump it but REPLACE it with a better one. One just can't enter a segment and decide next day to not be a participant in that segment, especially if u r as successful a manufacturer as Honda.

Going along with that it also costs the company millions if not billions to do such a thing. First it cost a lot in the developmental stage such as concept, testing, marketing etc. I heard the opposite...I heard the Ridgeline was selling well. Oh well!

Toyota, which had seven segment winners in the 2005 edition of the annual Strategic Vision vehicle value survey, took only three categories in this year's study.
Honda retained its overall top ranking, taking top honors in the small-car category for the Civic and in the compact-pickup segment with the Ridgeline. Honda Motor was also named the best overall corporation.
P.S. Here in Woodbridge, VA The Toyota dealer is next door to the Honda dealer, but are owned by a different person/company!
It doesn't matter how many awards a company wins if its vehicles aren't selling. I believe Autoline Detroit showed sales figures for last month and Toyota was up 20%. I think the only other company to show an increase was Ford, but only marginally. Everyone else was down, including Honda, whose sales dipped, if I remember correctly, almost 8%. Awards are nice, but the bottom line is sales!
