    They are in the process of a model change right now. You can google 2016 ridgeline. You'll just get some artistic renderings that don't show much. Even at the plant all we are hearing are rumours. Nothing concrete yet. Ridgeline are built in the states so I haven't a clue.

    Oh yeah, Beaverton Honda is the bomb!!! And Alberto is the coolest, nicest, most professional car salesman I've ever met. If you're in the market for a Honda in the Portland area, those people are good with a capital G!!! :D

    I ♥ the way that lil' blue Civ looks next to the Taco. So cute!!

    That salesman, Alberto, was seriously the bomb. Even though we were buying a used Civic, he treated us like we were buying new BMW, start to finish. It really was incredible, especially after the crap we dealt with from others the past few weeks. And I about had a heart attack (in a good way!) when he busted out his lil' chart of Honda interest rates on certified pre-owned. 2.44%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :headbang: I was planning to go with a credit union rate that was a full percent higher!! :woot:

    So happy to be done, and at the very beginning of Eric's vacation too!!! Time for gate building and wheel bearing replacement!! :yay:

    @bry838 , I know you (and others!) are disappointed that we didn't choose the 4R. But hey, at least we didn't get the Prius, right guys? :D Do we score some cool points for that? :D

    Nice, hopefully they stick with the 2.44%, sometimes they come back with a higher rate for some donkey reason after the paperwork gets submitted to the bank, just wanted to let you know...

    This one will last you a long long time...congrats...
