    here you go. Quite a few Japanese don't even know the national anthem and some want to change it because it's basically a song for the emperor. Sounds better from a flute or okarina though.

    I had a ridgeline years ago. Its all dependent on what you are going to need. Some of the features are nice, like the lockable bed trunk, interior room, and their awd system works well in snow and ice.

    What I didnt like however was its inability to take on the wilderness. It would bottom out on rutted dirt roads, while the tacoma laughs at these situations. No option to turn on full time 4wd, because they use an auto awd when slippage is felt. Bed is short also, no option for a longer one. Spare tire is in the bed trunk, so if the bed was full and you had a flat you are in trouble.

    The honda is an suv with a bed, but its not capable of minor offroading without a struggle. Just depends on your needs.

    I just read that. Nice. The 2nd Gen 3.5TT with 375hp and 470lb/ft torque mated to a 10 speed auto will be a monster. Tuned will put HP a good step above 400 and torque will be in the 500 range. Scary. It will be crazy to see what the Raptor numbers will be. My boss has a 2014 Raptor with the Roush SC and he is waiting on the 2017 Raptor to see what kind of numbers it puts out.

    Okay, back to the new Ridgeline bashing.

    Yup just a hand held tuner away from cracking the 400 HP mark with a few mods if it even needs it.

    I cant believe how many gears these transmissions have in newer vehicles. Kinda seems like an in between era until they figure out the next efficient route. Govt is pushing for extreme mpgs, so theyre coming up with extreme ways to accomplish it without enough time to perfectly engineer it. Like when the govt mandated toilets be low flow. When those first came out they couldnt flush a rabbit turd, let alone a battleship log. As time passed, they became more efficient and now you can shit with confidence.

    I like that new ridgeline. I also like el caminos, subaru Baja, and conventional pickups. If someone would sell a new compact pickup in the US I would buy it, regardless of manufacturer.
