2017 Honda Ridgeline...looks like a Pilot with a bed.

Alright, I would love to hear opinions on the Ridgeline. To me, all they did is cut the Pilot in half and throw on a bed.

I am VERY jealous that it has Apple carplay or Android capability. Other than that, I am pretty turned off by the look of it. Especially the front end.

Thoughts?

 

well, it IS a pilot with a bed. Same platform. It's a unibody constructed vehicle with a transverse mounted drivetrain, rear axle assist (AWD) optional, primarily FWD.

 

For those who can't decide between a minivan and a pickup truck...

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

I don't see "minivan" I see Pilot SUV with a bed. A very nice combination for those who want four real perforated leather seats, don't want a body on frame ride but would prefer an open lighted bed with wheel wells that are almost non existent instead of a closed station wagon type area. There is nothing like it out there. Should do better than the last Avalanche looking thing.

I like it...and will test drive one.

 

I do

 

utterly horrible, but then again....no horrible.

 

Honda makes nice vehicles but everything they make has me think "meh" when it comes to their appearance

 

At least it has a better looking grill and no lower fat lip

 

Not for me, but that's just my opinion, there will be lots who will snap it up because it suits them. Personally, I like boxier vehicles and I'm not a fan of AWD or FWD in a truck.

 

people saying this looks bad havent seen a hilux im guessing.

2.8L turbo diesel, nice

 

I waited until today hoping to see specs. on the new Ridgeline, but nothing but pictures. I was hoping they would up the towing cap. Well couldn't wait any longer . I ordered a new 4wd. SR5 this afternoon.

 

Modern Japanese El Camino

 

says the person who owns a 3rd gen. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In the ridgeline case, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

 

more like "beers" holder. It would take more than a few...

 

Not for me but there's definitely a growing market for this type of vehicle. I bet consumer reports will love it.

 

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

 

F'n awesome. Maybe this will draw enough people away from the Tacoma that we can actually get any bed/cab/trans/trim we want.

 

Will have more cajones than the Toyota Sienna motor that is in the new Tacoma.
