Just saw the first Ridgeline

Fight, Hate. Wow. I think you have some serious unresolved daddy issues.

 

Nothing wrong with that.

 

Get the outback

 

Uhhh?!

I feel like the new Ridgline is to Mini-Vans as the El-Camino was to cars.

 

I have the 2016 Tacoma and my wife has the 2016 Outback; a great combination for our needs.

 

I honestly think the Pontiac Aztek looks better. Honda does make great reliable vehicles, but damn the ridgeline it's ugly as shit. That being said, to each their own.

 

I thought it was ugly when I first saw pictures of it. Then I decided to go check it out in person. When I saw the build quality, and the contours, it's really not that bad. When you sit inside its a whole different world. Just as TRD16 said, to each their own.

 

That's a car with a molded on bed. Next Gen Tacoma right there the way this truck line is going.

 

This one is at our local Honda Dealership - $43,770

 

Good point there sir. I wonder how many of these would sell if it had a Toyota logo on it and Tacoma stamped in the tailgate.

 

Don't knock the Baja! It is basically a 2nd gen Outback with part of the roof cut off. Those things are tough and Subaru knows what they are doing with their AWD system.

I'd actually love to have a BRAT some day, too.

 

Toyota zigged and a all the other manufacturers zagged. The 2016 Tacoma hood and grill scream truck. Honda, nissan, maybe ford, and gm have gone to the mini van/ suv front ends. I finally witnessed a new ridgeline and thought it was a joke.

 

If that were the case a lot of the people talking about how ugly it is would own one and brag about how awesome it is.

 

none? it's ugly as fuk.

 

Good LORD, that thing is ghastly looking.

 

Speaking of Car'ish looking trucks.

 

lol No joke, it straight up looks like a minivan.

 

Exactly. I travel extensively to the Middle East and South America. I've driven the foreign trucks/SUVs (with Diesel) and the US Tacoma is manufactured to American tastes. The truck market in those areas is bigger than here, yet those trucks somehow sell and suit the tasks well. Have a quick look at the below Car-Like offerings from GM, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, and Nissan.

 

When I see this group of clones, I appreciate the 3rd generation so much more. And yes the Hilux is right there with them looking like a Sienna, or a Highlander.
