If people would just adapt the attitude of "I wont pay mark up, there wouldn't be Markup"   I don't want to be harsh, but it's people like you that make it harder for everybody else.   You didn't get a fair deal by a long shot. You paid a 1,000 more than you should of. Replies to this message: 55535432 (Mar 09, 2005 10:07 pm) wyowilly (Mar 11, 2005 4:10 pm)

Replying to: gearhead1 (Mar 09, 2005 8:05 pm) Well said,   I bought my 03 Honda Pilot for $1000.00 over invoice. Thought I had a good deal til I accompanied a co-worker who got a more improved 05 Pilot $800 under invoice. Stuff he got which I don't have for $1800 less money was moonroof, more HP, 240 vs 255, moving middle seats, smother transmission, and less noisy ride.Guess good things come to those who wait.   Put on hold my Ridgeline purchase coz of towing issues.Hope 07 Ridgelines can tow more. Ridgeline tows 5000 lbs with two people riding it. How about 5 people with a whole lot of stuff.Maybe Honda will transport my family for me coz the other 3 can't ride with me and my wife coz a 4000 lbs boat plus five people and stuff is beyond the Ridgeline.Anyone can suggest a better V6 only alternative to the Ridgeline in terms of my needs. Five passengers plus tons of stuff and a 4000 lbs boat. Replies to this message: wyowilly (Mar 11, 2005 4:10 pm)
#13 of 796 off the subject.. by tyresmoker Mar 10, 2005 (4:57 am)
...but anyone wonder what Honda got in return for supplying GM with 50,000 3.5L V6's for the Saturn Vue??...Nothing.. Ya see, when the deal was struck, GM was going to supply V8 engines to Honda for the developing truck program. A light went off (very dim I am sure) in someones head at GM and decided that they did not want to compete with themselves with a GM powered Honda truck... Btw, the Honda powered Vue is not a horrific vehicle... I wouldnt consider the Ridge if you are looking for a "work" truck..meaning something you want to load up with gear and a trailer. There is a little toooo much marketing and not enough "meat" to really put it to work. Replies to this message: stevedebi (Mar 14, 2005 2:51 pm)
#14 of 796 towing capability; demand by heywood1 Mar 10, 2005 (5:23 am)
IMO, if you need to tow much of anything, this is not your vehicle.   In terms of demand, I concur with a letter to the Editor I read in 'Autoweek,' which predicted (and I'm paraphrasing) that--like the Element--sales of the Ridgeline will meet expectations the first year, and drop every year thereafter.

#16 of 796 Ridgeline hunt by tomc7 Mar 10, 2005 (3:53 pm)
I have been a Honda owner for years. My wife has a Odyssey and is very pleased. I have been thinking about purchasing a New Chevrolet , then I heard the Ridgeline was coming out. I sent out e-mail requests to be contacted about the Ridgeline. I only had two dealers in Oklahoma contact me. I guess it was to long a wait. One dealer was over MSRP and the other was at sticker. I went to the Norman Ok dealer Fowler and was treated good and now have a New Rigdeline. It was about time for Honda to come out with a truck. I hope it has good resale like other Hondas.
#17 of 796 Carsdirect has Ridges' for MSRP by jerseybubba Mar 10, 2005 (3:54 pm)
Carsdirect.com has Ridge's on sale for MSRP (When using my zip). I've used them as a good bench mark for other deals. Never seen anyone do +-200 better than they have listed. Plus I'll use this as a start point for my dealer.

Replying to: 55535432 (Mar 09, 2005 10:07 pm) Try an '05 Nissan Frontier with the 4.0 litre, 265 hp, 284 ft lb engine - it's more a "truck" than a Ridgeline even intends to be. It's rated towing capacity is 6,500 lbs in the 2 wheel drive King Cab - and not much less in the Crew Cab. And it feels good too!
#19 of 796 Mid-sized choices by wyowilly Mar 11, 2005 (4:29 pm)
I'm 63 years old - going on 30. Having owned my '91 Ranger since '91, I figured that it's time I updated my vehicle - particularly consider at vacation time, my wife and I "pack heavy". With 2 dogs plus a cat in a carrier, we want room. We want comfort and performance. Knowing that means a crew cab with a V-6 and 4x4 - the gas prices are preventing me from a V-8 standard sized crew cab. I've driven them all - Colorado, Dakota, Tacoma, Frontier, and finally last Saturday, the Ridgeline. Being a "car freak" all my life, I know what I'm looking for and at. I don't need a jacked up or heavy duty overload suspension. I want and need something that acts as a super truck about 1% of it's life. I need good, reliable transportation 100% of the time. To make a long story short, the Ridgeline is the best of the new mid-sizers - at least for me. I'm very possibly looking at my last vehicle purchase - and glad that Honda came out with the Ridgeline.
