    That is what I thought too.

    No... that's really ugly. Half of it looks like a really poor Photoshop job to somehow make a Ridgeline look even more like a car.

    Not turning my crank much either.

    Most concept designs get toned down before production. I would think it is more suited for the minivan graduates.

    Theres a reason why its still conceptual....its supposed to be about the same size as the RAV4...I originally thought it was a cool idea. But not so much anymore. If it were as capable as a warthog, Id be on it like a fat kid on a cupcake.

    Why not...;)....OP did not ask if you would give up your "Taco"...just asked if the concept would be worth buying/driving.....

    Come on,I drove a Prius while my frame was done,actually just looked at an AWD Matrix for my wife ( we got another Camry instead ;) ) BUT why not try out the "NEW" stuff.....H&ll, you 2nd gen guys can keep your "plastic" beds BUT I don't knock your purchases:D:D:D.........I'm old enough to say I've owned a pre-Taco P/u brand new ( Hilux) and that gave great service BUT my '02 is the "Top Dog" for now :cool::cool:...

    Count your blessings we only have 2 gen's....look at the 4-runner guys:rolleyes:;)..
