No surprise!

 

It checks out.

 

The Ridgeline is not even a truck, its a unibody Minivan with a bed.

 

They like it because it had a power outlet in the back for a stereo system and a large screen TV.
What a hilarious review that is.
Wow got to get one

 

anyone surprised by a honda or bmw win in a C&D article is foolish

 

Yea, I had hard the BMWs have been going down in quality a bit. They released an X5 about 4 years ago that was complete garbage, and I'm sure it's not the only vehical they have made tons of $$ on because of their name

 

The internet, every opinion is equal, even if it's not.

The Ridgeline is a Unibody construction truck. It should be compared to the Suburu Baja, not any of the other 4 trucks in the comparison.

So to sum up: NOT EVEN IN THE SAME CATAGORY OF VEHICLE as far as I am concerned.

(For the thick out there it's like comparing a Highlander to a 4Runner.)

 

based on the broader market demand of minitrucks, i have to agree with C&D on this one.

 

actually, on thing i'd change, the colorado and canyon should now be rated as the same fucking truck. or gm has to bring back saturn, pontiac and hummer.

 

Wait did you say BMW and X5 or were you talking about Toyota and our 3rd gen Tacoma?

 

But it's so ugly.

 

This is going to get good.

 

Oh I was responding to @brich999 comment about Hondas and BMWs getting wins in Car and Driver all the time. I think it was like 2000 or the 2001 X5, it was a complete piece of crap and it got rated too high in magazines because it was a BMW.

Definitely not that relevant to this thread...

 

Ohhhhh yea

 

Wonder if this is impacting sales for Toyota... a lot of folks really take these reviews to heart @TacoJonn

 

In this case, GM and Ford should bring the El Camino and Ranchero back then. Plus I don't trust the Honda transmission for V6. It's weak.

 

Correction:

1. Honda Vruck
   
2. Chebby Colorado
   
3. GMC Canyon
   
4. Toyota Tacoma
   
5. Nissan Frontier

Definition: Vruck - see below.

 

No love for the new, smaller Fiat Ram/Dakota?

Hyundai or Kia was showing some weird concept faux truck similar to a Ridgeline earlier this year, it was a CUV or something the top half of the rear cut off.
