Went to see this today

[Camino LS6]

A Ridgeline seems like a good compromise--could make a plow truck, but it also has the car/truck style and appeal of an El Camino...

No, no, and HELL NO!

The Ridgeline isn't any good at being anything it pretends to be.

I thought you liked those

^ Personally, I cannot get past the tailgate on those, which is inexplicably a few inches short of matching up to the bedsides.

I'll just assume the rest of the vehicle is engineered in a similar manner.

Chevy could use the same idea to make an El Camino from the Traverse. That would be cool..sort of.

If they have anything of the sort in mind, I'd much rather they let the El Camino rest in peace having never been compromised like that.

Behind the Civic plow truck is a rather saveable looking old Chevy van and apparently a Silver Fiero...a silver lining in every cloud.

Seriously, go for the Camino. Nothing else your looking at scratches an itch that isn't already being scratched, if you know what I mean. Don't let it be like high school, where you avoid the girl you like and who likes you...only to find out she's dating some other guy.

I get what you are saying, Horse. But there just isn't time to do all of the horse-trading I wanted to do ahead of buying a plow truck, so I'm going to have to simply take the best one I can find with the cash I have on hand now.

Once I have it, the horse-trading can resume.

I Could never stand looking at it long enough to notice...

Why buy something with the fuel economy and limitations of a full size truck, but none of the utility or benefits?

They have been an excessively slow seller for Honda.

Makes sense...

And that nicer Camino you posted, the already fixed up one for 11.5K, gives me hope I can own an older Chevrolet truck some day myself (or GMC).
