wrong!

first: Honda calls the Ridgeline Truck the Ridgeline Truck. Check their website!

second: a coor's beer can is made out of aluminum (see bauxite, etc.), which is more akin to the Acura NSX. we mustn't get our Honda products mixed up.

third: the styling is a joke, not the notion that it's a "truck." personally, I think the looks are beginning to start to grow on me. but that's incidental.

Shut up.

Shut up!

You had me at "cleats"!  

Ridgelines are for homos & Canadians, no real American man would drive one.  

I drive one, am not a homosexual, am not canadian (not that there's anything wrong with that), and have a pair of testicles. If driving a truck is the definition of a man, then I'd better stop beating my wife. I thought wife beating was the defintion of a "Real American Man." So after I don't beat my wife I'll be sure to get out and buy a Ford F-150. Get er' done!  

Ridgelines are not trucks, they are minvans with a truck bed. Trucks are not unibody frames, but body on frame. If your going to get a ridgline u might as well buy an avalanch, which was not a copy of the ridgeline, its the other way around, at least with that u can actually tow something decent (Z85) and actually go off road, (Z-71). And another thing the ridgeline is no investment, if u want a vechicle that is an investment buy a harley, they appreaciate in value, if u want a long lasting truck u can beat to hell buy a chevy, because i always see old chevy's driving around and i guarente that they were not babied.  

*** ima pop a can in yo *** if u say sumethin like dat again da ridgeline is da only thang i be rollin in down wit my homie in cuba fo real seal  

Well I agree that Ridgelines are Satan's spawn, but if I remember right the Avalanche was copied from the Ridgeline. I think GM even mentioned it in a press release.  

The only problem with the Ridgline is that it costs about 5,000 too much... Its more of a family truck...  

I saw a bright yellow '06 F-150 with 22" wheels,  lowered about an inch off the ground and bright pin- striping all over it.  Is thi considered a 'real' truck.......by the way, it did have one of those flag window stickers covering the whole back window, so I *** it was an American driving it..Looked pretty gay to me
