How did the  buyback on your Tacoma workout for you? Did you decide to buy a Ridgeline now? |

Replying to: jerrywimer (Jul 05, 2006 9:02 am) A couple of times people have come up to me at gas stations and asked "Does that thing drive as good as it looks?" - So I'm definitely not alone in my taste. If you want gimmicky add-ons, go buy a Nissan - they'e full of dummy bolts and stuff. At first I wasn't too sure about the Ridge's headlights but now I've had it for 6 months, thry don't bother me a bit

Replying to: m4mulvey (Sep 13, 2006 1:46 pm) The one with the best sheet metal in my view is the Colorado, but it is not up to par on quality and price. The Element can be judged weird or ugly looking or just a reincarnation of the chevy "woody" from the 40's that would look weird or ugly to some if driven around now. From styling, I like the square wheel openings of the Tacoma, Colorado(especially) and the Ridgeline. The rounded ones of the F series and Frontier don't do it for me. I didn't think it was possible but Dodge did manage to make an ugly truck with the Durango. Oscar Meyer should buy a fleet of them, paint them pink and send them around the country as a promo. Ridgeline has features that make it a 4 dr.l version of my old El-Camino. (which, like Clinton I have fond memories of  ) --jjf Just shows how different we all are - I like the Ridge's angularity and really don't like the rounded emphasis on other vehicles - In my opinion the Ridge is way better looking than the Avalanche. A couple of times people have come up to me at gas stations and asked "Does that thing drive as good as it looks?" - So I'm definitely not alone in my taste.

Replying to: ozcop (Aug 09, 2006 8:19 pm) I have heard stories about people buying the Honda Passport only to find that It's nothing more than an Isuzu with different decals. I like my Chevy just fine. It has heated leather seats, a FRAME and I know if I needed to haul something or pull somebody out of the ditch I could do so without needing to have it aligned. I applaud Honda for the effort, but Toyota already has the market for reliable, smooth riding pickups. If you're in the market for a truck to haul something with, buy a Chevrolet. If you're in the market for a smaller truck that will last till you just can't stand to look at it anymore, then get a Toyota. If you're looking for a disposable truck in either category, then go with Ford or Nissan. On the other hand, if you're looking for a great car with tremendous fuel economy and the best resale value, then look at Honda. I think the Ridgeline will take a back seat to the V8 Tundra just like it's little brother, the T-100 did in '99. Sorry Honda, it's just too little, too late. |

Replying to: bend4fun (Oct 01, 2006 7:21 am) Honda will make 120000 of these weird Ridgelines and Elements and be too little too late all the way to the bank. They target their market and structure their manufacturing well. Doing something F-150 or tundra-like would be suicide with the oversupply of these vehicles in this segment anyway. --jjf Sorry Honda, it's just too little, too late

Replying to: bend4fun (Oct 01, 2006 7:21 am) Fast forward to 2006 -- the twins are now 6 & 1/2, big enough to climb in/out of my Ridgleline by themselves and LIFE IS GOOD! I'm only replying in question to your Silverado's gas mileage. Is it a V6? Mine was a V8 (the standard 350, nothing fancy) and I don't recall EVER getting more than about 18mpg and that was with a good tail wind. My Ridge gets 19-20mpg consistently. Close to 21mpg on some tanks if all freeway driving ... and it's barely broken in at 8500 miles! To each his own ... I'm still happy going out to my garage every morning and seeing my JAPANESE Ridgeline (assembled in Canada with 75% US parts). LOL!
