    Spying: 2016 Honda Ridgeline

      Our First Real Look At the 2016 Honda Ridgeline

    Honda has a big product offensive coming soon and one of those key products is the new Ridgeline. Unlike the old model which had some clever ideas, but never made it on the sales chart, Honda is making more of an effort to make the next Ridgeline more 'truck'. A new set of spy shots show us how more 'truck' the Ridgeline will become.

     

    The Ridgeline looks be adapting conventionally shaped crew cab rather than the oddly shaped one from the previous model. The front end looks to have same front end styling as the new Pilot. The Pilot will share its underpinnings with the Ridgeline as well, meaning it will get the 3.5L V6 and all-wheel drive system. A six-speed automatic will be standard transmission, but a nine-speed automatic is in the cards.

     

    The Ridgeline is expected to be shown sometime this year, with sales beginning sometime next year.

    "Honda has a big product offensive coming soon and one of those key products is the new Ridgeline."

     

    Yes...the Honda Ridgeline IS offensive...Its offensive to its peers as it calls itself a truck....when it really isnt.

     

    Yeah...I know...the article states that this version will be more "truck"...Truck is in quotation marks from the article...the Ridgeline will continue to be offensive...even more so this time around against its pick-up truck brethren as now...it will lie to try to pass off as a "truck", at least with the last generation...it just called itself a "truck" but it didnt try to hide the fact that it wasnt....this time around...it will try its best to impersonate one....

     

    Insulting and offensive this Ridgeline is...its the Don Rickles of the truck world...actually, the Ridgeline is more like Rickles' punchlines...as both are jokes...

    Side profile sucks, short nose and bed and huge crew cab just does not look right in it's proportions and as a Uni-body truck this is more inline with the old El Camino's than a real truck.

    Same Fuel Economy.

    4 times the utility.

    Almost 100 more horsepower.

    Loads more torque.

    Real four-wheel drive

    Good looks.

    Can actually tow more than an inflatable boat.

    Isn't based on a mini-van.

      Florida has always appealed to me on some level.  The first time I went, I sat by the window and the plane flew down the coast over Lauderdale and Miami Beach to land.  I had never seen turquoise water like that.  I have relatives there, none of whom I like.  I love the food options.  I like the colorful and diverse people from everywhere who live in the urban areas.  I then came to learn that driving between Miami and Marco Island or Tampa to Orlando is not easy on the eyes. I know Costa Rica, Panama, etc. are relocation destinations.  Also high on the list is Uruguay, which I've been to twice, and it has South America's highest literacy rate and a milder climate at that lower parallel.  It's also beautiful. Montevideo, the capital ... very manageable and it used to be extremely safe, but now it's a little less safe Punta del Este, their famous beach report ... incredible, avoid December 15 through February, because it's high season and half of Buenos Aires has moved in

      The City of LB had a big decision to make:  let her go or pay for structural and aesthetic repairs.  It's a hotel, a renowned brunch, a tour destination, and people get married and have proms there.  All that stuff.  What would it look like without the QM there? I believe it's staying. In less than 3 years, it will have been there 60 years.  It IS Long Beach through and through.

      It has been an amazing state for me to raise a family in. Despite my cynicism, I really like it here in a lot of ways.

      I didn’t realize they offered the Wrangler with the 3.6 and a manual.

      I still like the Keys..at least the 1985 version I grew up in....  I still think Big Pine Key would be a great place to spend the winters..  my sister has been looking into Puerto Rico as a winter getaway for next year...Myrtle Beach was too cold and snowy this year.  She just drove back to CLE a couple days ago, straight through in about 10 hrs.  Sad but true.. as a native Ohioan I have no desire to live in the rural areas I grew up in.  Too many rednecks and MAGAts.   But there is a lot of great scenery and state parks in rural Ohio.
