Is the Ridgeline still gunning for us?

The most shocking part of the article is that there's at least 106k of these things on the road.

 

Ay Yai Yai

 

Honestly, ever time I see a Ridgeline out on the road, I am overcome with a profound sense of pity for the owner. No one should have to drive such a sorry looking vehicle.

That bumper guard though. A whole new level of despair at how humanity could go so wrong and bring such a thing into existence.

 

I always thought the Ridgeline hit a perfect niche in the demographics of marriage. Guy wants a truck, wife says no. Guy takes wife to Honda dealer and sits her inside a Ridgeline, they compromise. She gets a nicely fitted out vehicle and he gets his truck sort of, limited as it is, it aint a CR-V.

 

If I took my wife to the Honda dealership she would call me a pussy and immediately file for divorce.

 

IMHO FWD Honda Ridgeline is not the main threat but Colorado and Ranger are more potent threats. The new Ranger looks pretty impressive; perhaps a new sheriff in town?

 

I test drove the black edition and I really thought it was going to be my next vehicle. It drives like a Lexus and looks good (Black Edition is the only Ridgeline I like).

Then on a whim, I convinced my fiancé to test drive a voodoo blue pro....and I was hooked. The Taco felt like a tractor on springs...and I loved it

 

Ridgeline...Geigh.

 

Ranger... Geigh.

 

Car and Driver

Should be obvious - the Ridgeline is the most carlike model in the segment.

 

Car & Driver editors... Say it wit' me..."Geigh."

 

TEC pic...AAAAAAA-SUM.

 

First gen Ridgeline was a sales failure. In fact, its poor sales numbers convinced Toyota to keep the basic platform the same going from 2nd to 3rd gen - Toyota openly announced this back in 2015.

 

Rumor has it my ex-wife's new squeeze drives a ridgeline. It gives me such a warm feeling of schadenfreude to hear that.

 

So she is with another woman?

 

Jealous of the taco that she wanted a taco.

 

Holy shit - if that's true it proves my point that competition improves the species - Yeah capitalism!

(oh and that the 3 gen is just a warmed over 2nd gen )

 

^Saved me money on skids, sliders, tonneau, battery clamp, horns, fire extinguisher mount, rear center console, 3rd brake light, wheels...

 

Honda then provides you a 100,000 mi. warranty on that transmission. My dealer provides the 100,000 mi warrant at no extra cost on any new Honda he sells you. Good stuff.
