Replying to: ustazzaf (Apr 08, 2006 9:20 pm) -------------------------- Sheesh, do I have to repeat myself again. 1. Honda is on it's first year of it's truck production, several configurations would cost more in terms of investments and a big loss if the Ridge is unaccepted in the market. 2. It ain't right to compare Donald duck and Donald trump. Does Toyota have these many 2006 configurations when they made their first truck? Just curious. ------------------------------ I am not the one that compared the base Toy to the base Honda. I just mentioned that the base Toy has less gagets and 13K less in price. That has nothing to do with Donald Duck, but everything to do with his rich uncle Louis who was a miser Yes you did imply that Honda is the more expensive, unaafordable vehicle compared to Toyota.However bang for the buck, the Ridge is still reasonable, straightforwardly priced and accesorized.At 50,000 units sold only first and foremost to the Honda faithfuls, it does not need to copy the dizzying and deceiving array of Tacoma configurations.Makes business sense to take calculated risk, rather than get to the fray both guns blazing then run out of ammo. FYI. HONDA HAS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF AUTOSALES INCREASE FOR 2005, MAYBE THEIR CAUTIOUS BUSINESS APPROACH WORKS WELL FOR ME AND THE OTHER 50,000 RIDGELINE OWNERS, BUT NOT FOR HONDA HATERS.

What I really want to know is now that prices have stabilized for the Ridgline for about 27K (give or take), will it retain its value like that of a traditional Honda? I'm going to drive both Ridge and Tacoma first.

| Hmmmmmmm,I own a Honda and maybe I will get another someday,but it most certainly won't be the Ridgeline...that is one ugly son of a *****! Its one thing that its got to be a good mechanical vehicle but it also has to have some appeal,its got to look good,but that thing is one of the ugliest looking vehicles I have ever seen in a long time,reminds me of something out of one of those bad Mad Max movies! | |

Replying to: mrjjgittes (Apr 09, 2006 1:58 pm) Guess it is a regional deal. Up in the NW the 4X4 Toyota is offered with SR5, TRD O/R and TRD Sport. No option of muliple "packages". Of course you can still get three different cab configs as well as different engines. Also, my TRD O/R was $28K with the side bags compared to $31K (or $32 as you posted on the other post). And, the RT was $32 compared to the $25K you quoted.

Replying to: lijuice (May 29, 2006 5:28 am) How do you change a flat, or get something else you need out of the trunk with a load in the bed?  I test drove an RL as well. It's very nice but didn't fit my needs. I didn't want a quad cab truck, and I wanted a minimum of 6 feet of bed with the gate closed. Folks have different wants and needs... Be careful with the smug, or you'll become the subject of a South Park episode.
