    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.

      Come on, who here didn't call this phone number when they were a kid or a teen? https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=boaJCrHNRMA&feature=shared I think it's off the table for the phone company, as is BREAD 8 for vehicular personalized plates.

      We are only at the beginning of a Major Recession if not an outright depression due to Stagflation, the increase in inflation, increase in costs and all Americans being Fleeced by the Idiot Lemmings in DC allowing Idiot47 to destroy the country. Seems the latest is that most auto assembly workers are living pay check to pay check. As such, when companies lay off to stop production due to the economic down turn, many will loose everything I fear. Sad that so many studies show 3 out of 4 workers are living paycheck to paycheck in the U.S. 2025 wage reality: Millions of workers living paycheck to paycheck This is one of the best in depth reads on all income levels and how or why they live paycheck to paycheck. Who Is the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Consumer in America?

      This is very cool story, history of when GM started to look at building mass production EVs. Great video of the EV in the story. Retro Rides: The 1969 all-electric GM XP 512E concept   Seems GM is sitting on thousands of unsold BrightDrop vans. As such, they are going to lay off the CAMI plant workers till the fall and then only bring back a smaller group of workers. GM throttles down BrightDrop production at CAMI plant Seems the biggest part of the problem is that GM is over $20,000 more than the equal van from Ford in e-Transit form. GM faces BrightDrop EV crisis: Overflowing lots and mass layoffs
