What would Honda have to do to Snag Tacoma Buyers

My guess it just designed to look that way. The bed might not be separate..maybe just a really deep crease to make it appear like it is.

 

Should be a slew of new pics and info by the end of the day since it's being unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. Almost a year ago to the day we saw the new 2016 Tacoma. There was a collective "WTF?" on Tacoma World. haha

 

You can do that with any vehicle really.

 

Not a big fan of Honda vehicles, never was, although I do like their power equipment and marine outboards!
I don't think I'd ever choose a Ridgeline over a Tacoma. I just don't like the looks Honda's.
For the same price point, I'll stick with Toyota.

 

You've got that completely backwards. The 4Runner started as a fully enclosed Hilux. Your last sentence we can find common ground on.

 

We have owned a couple Honda products, any where from motorcycles, power equipment, cars. Always had great luck with them.

I definitely want a look-see. Do like the ACLB body configuration the best, be hard to a DCSB for me, that and I would loose my beloved manual trans, if I went with Honda. Am liking the subdued look of the Ridgeline, even though the Taco has grown on me.

 

Lotsa pics in here: http://www.carscoops.com/2016/01/honda-ridgeline-shows-its-face-at-naias.html

 

Looks super nice, that black edition looks super nice, no snout or a grin....
Interior looks much better than 2016 Tacoma.... Simpler.
I am a little disappointing I did not see class leading technology, drum brakes on the back wheels.
kudos to Honda for well designed truck.

There go the sales from Toyota..

 

Love the Interior. Not just an TRD with "leather seats"

 

Looks like Honda has at least outdone Toyota as far as the interior goes. Even has power seats. I like what they did with the rear seating as well. The Tacoma doesn't have any rear legroom for anyone other than toddlers and tiny people. Well done.

 

I like it!

 

Looks terrible in my opinion. Some of the features are nice but aren't new. Glad I didn't wait and waste my time. Happy with that I have now.

 

Whaaaaat? Only *four* cupholders?

 

That interior looks expensive. Nice, but expensive.

 

unibody....

 

I have zero interest in owning a Honda, let alone a Ridgeline.

I just bought a Tacoma. I'm not one to buy a car every couple of years. I commit to what I have.

If my full-size blows up I'm getting another Ford. No question. No doubt. There is no other maker in my eyes.

 

Bit narrow minded...

 

I LIKE it. Will definitely drive it when I buy my next truck.
