I'm ready to buy in Dallas. Which dealer did you end up with?

i don't think delaying the release of the '09 is a "gimmick", but rather just reflective of the current glut of inventory.
 
In this world of releasing '09 models in early '08 or even in '07 it's kind of refressing to see an '09 actually release in '09.
 
It doesn't do your dealers any good to force feed them inventory when they are drowing in aging inventory out there.

I wonder if the '09 will have an MSRP more accurate to what the market will bare.

The msrp for an '09 RTL w/o navigation ($33,980) is up $890 over an '08 per Honda. The '09 will include the trailer harness and integrated trailer hitch, fog lights and carpeted floor mats to name a few standard additions.
 
I have received numerous responses re the '09 release date. The rep at Honda America said there was a delay with no release date set. I have two local dealers saying they each have two '09 models enroute and due next week at their dealership. I have two others saying the release will not occur until late December or January. I have another saying late October which is similar to the info in #732. Time will tell on who is accurate.

"Honda is delaying the 2009 model release until January." - ida4128
 
WRONG! Two 2009 Ridgelines just hit the lot today. Not a moment too soon either, we're down to our last three 2008 Ridgelines.
 
Honda's web site just changed to the 2009 as well.

Thanks for the info. If you can, please educate us on why American Honda would advise the 2009 RTL release is delayed and there is no set date for the release, yet you just took delivery on some. I called American Honda via their 800 number on Monday (9/8) and was told that. I have been told a number of different stories from local dealers and I do not know what to believe. If you did take delivery of '09 models, American Honda needs to inform their reps who answer the phone to pass along accurate info.

Why?
-They've got several hundred tons of 2008 inventory.
-They are car salesmen, and they do that.

Care to further explain your cryptic message? Or, should I just assume you're calling me a liar?

I contacted American Honda again this morning and the rep I spoke to indicated it is possible for the '09 RTL to be at dealerships or enroute. This was contrary to what I was told on 9/8 by another American Honda rep. It appears a number of my local dealerships do not have the correct/current information.

ida4128,
 
You seem very eager to get a 2009, but don't you believe that the pricing will not be in your favor, since the 2009 truck is a rare commodity right now? I'm also going to purchase a 2009 RTL, but I expect to wait until close to the winter holidays for better pricing.
