SKRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!!!!
Ridgeline is on my top ten list of vehicles I'd never buy.
The Subaru car/truck thing would also be on that list.
If only gm brought the Australian maloo to the US.....

I thought they discontinued this line completely. A surprise.
It's weird but Honda has never managed to make the vehicle remotely attractive. Those who like them are buying them for their qualities, not the looks. Very clunky and odd.
That was the problem with the previous Ridgeline, it had a pricetag too high. When you can get an F-150 for similar price...the F-150 will fly off the lot while Ridgelines won't.
That is weird, looks arean't subjective at all. I don't care for it personally, but I'm sure that some people buy because the like the way they look. I think we've already determined it lacks the qualities of most other truck so that leaves aesthetics, image, brand loyalty, etc.
Please tell me it doesn't start at $48k?

Think of it more like a Pilot that gets all your stuff in the back wet when it rains.
Not being a "real" truck is the whole attraction of the Ridgeline! A daily driver Honda that rides smoooooth because it's an SUV chassis, not a bouncy-castle body-on-frame truck. Stick a motorcycle or two in the back...done.
I think more trucks on the Sport/Activity side of the spectrum would sell in the US, like the Aussie Ranger:
I dunno if they think the U.S. market is worth the bother as the full-size trucks from the big three have a stranglehold on the market here, and the Tacoma owns the light truck market with the Colorado selling well too. Bringing some overseas-style truck here sounds like a money-losing prospect.
The Ridgeline is designed in America, built in America, so maybe this new design will have more mass appeal than the first generation.
Last month they still sold 518 of new Ridgelines that had been hiding at dealerships...I wonder if the new owners got a screaming good deal since that model was already discontinued, and the new model is arriving next year? Hmm...if they knock $10k off the MSRP I might buy a leftover, if any are left.![]()
A Honda Accord...I totally get that (the new ones are good looking cars). A Honda truck? Sorry...not there.
They've been hiding them behind the unsold Crosstours....
If Eddie said it wouldn't sell, he was right.
This thread makes me LOL. 99% of the "trucks" I see EVERYDAY have nothing in the bed and nothing behind them. But what do I know?![]()
