During the superbowl i saw a commercial for the ridgeline. that's the ugliest pickup ever. the titan is better-looking than this! Its comming out in march 1. Its redesigned from the SUT concept.

^Ya it has my vote for ugliest and most unpickup of '05 It gets it's frame from one of their SUV I don't remember witch one I think the CRV and the CRV got it from their minivan. So the "truck" or so they say rides on a minivan platform with a transversily mounted engine(like a front wheel drive car).

I think you mean the Pilot

They should have kept it in Japan or over in Europe too; but definently not in the states. They should stick to making motorcycles, atvs, cars, and the occasional SUV. Personally I'm a Honda guy, but if I was going to buy a truck I certainly wouldn't buy one from Honda.

Needs about another 100 foot pounds of torque

looks like a cracked out avalache IMO.

yeah i hate the styling on that thing. Honda has great cars but i think they are going to have a tough time selling trucks in the U.S.

Well, I guess I'm the odd one out, but I like it. I know its built on the Odessey platform, but its pretty capable off road. I mean, don't try to haul your boat with it. I am still trying to get pas the fact that such a big truck has a V-6. I think its the same one in the Odessey (both 255 HP V6's). But I like it none the less.

Ugly.

It is the truck for soccer moms.

[slideways...]

it wont tow much because of its frame construction and the fact that it uses double wishbones all around but it has a bigger payload capacity than the tundra or silverado(so i heard). i saw one or two so far and they are SMALL. holy crap if it was big i would kinda like it but its like tacoma sized.

[Filthy Sanchez]

It's the truck for those who hate trucks, and want to pay more for less. Ten to one bet you can buy a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, or Nissan truck and do plenty more with it, for as much if not less than what they charge for that glorified car.

"...Ridgelines are not, however, available with a low range for off-roading, a V-8 engine, a stick shift or a bed longer than 5 feet.
And the styling - well, it obviously appeals to some, but to me, it lacks cohesiveness and strength, seemingly the product of a team that couldn't quite decide on an aesthetic theme and so incorporated several. Pardon me, but the Ridgeline looks like a girlie truck, where competitors like the Dodge Dakota have the masculine cues that most pickup buyers, men and women, seem to want and which befit a vehicle that by definition and tradition is tough and capable of hard work..."
