Some pics from the Honda dealership *56k = no-no*
Here are some pics that I took today, at the local Honda dealership. I hope you all like them. 
Hope you guys like the pics. I know I sure do, lol. The new Ridgeline is friggin' B.E.A.-utiful in person. I was seriously drooling all over it. Coolest truck I've ever seen, hands-down. Much better looking in person than in pictures. Hopefully I was able to convey some of that in my pics. Lemme know what you guys think of the pics.
Oh, and here's some new pics of my car, too: http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=203851

Rep Power: 0 Nameless, I actually am thinking about getting an Si, how could you tell?! haha It probably won't happen, though... I'm using a Olympus C-50 Zoom. 
Tripledoublegs, dude, we should chill some time. I have no civic friends out here! haha I've seen a few 'Vics out here with some minor stuff done to them, like mine, but the drivers always give me dirty looks... it's probably that whole ricer "I wanna look cool thing"... or maybe it's cuz I'm a li'l white boy LOL
The manager's a good friend of ur family? Hmm... I was talking to the salesman there for a hella long time, and he told me they're hiring. I might try and get a job there, LoL. It'd be pretty cool... I dunno how good I'd be as a salesman, though, haha.
MyK, nothing's impossible with enough money, haha.
PennyKnotOff, BLASPHEMY! Seriously, though, I loved it. I really wouldn't mind owning one. Wee 'bit out of my price range, though, lol.

I looked at the Ridgeline yesterday (at dealer for some parts). Its a nice truck. The sticker was a little over $33K, with some basic options that you'll want, it came out over $37K. Albeit thats the dealer list, I bet you can get the options for less, but its not a cheap truck. I'd just have my worries about how much you can tow around with it if they want it to be a "truck". I wouldn't be surprised if 2 more cylinders appeared in the next year or 2.

Never.
mostly because Honda will never build a throw away truck like the F150.

A. Ridgeline looks like an Avalanche.
B. For the 33k sticker, I can have a loaded Dodge Ram Quad Cab. Before you start ripping on the Dodge Quad Cab, don't. My dad has one, the thing is flawless. Ride is awesome, fit and finish are great. Great truck. V8 power. I bet you money most people who buy a truck, want V8 power, and not a v6 with vtak. People who want smaller "truck" end up getting a Dakota, Ranger or something like that.
I think it that Honda is trying to capture that market, and introduce itself, when Toyota did. But within a year honda better drop in a V8, or they won't sell many of these things. But I dont know, Honda engineers need to figure out how to get some torque out of their engine.

I'm jealous since we still have snow and cold weather here.

It really sucks during summer, though... which is coming up pretty quick here... *sigh* 
Thanks for all the compliments on the pics, everyone!
I might get a chance to take some more pics on Friday... we'll see, though.

Rep Power: 361 Those are some good pictures. I see that you took quite a few of the Rideline. Did you like that? One of my customers just bought a new Ridgeline and it seemed pretty cool. I liked how the tailgate folded down, and also swung open. I also though it was cool that the truck had a trunk. He said that it also has a low towing gear with a low top speed, but lots of low end power.

Rep Power: 0 thats the same 3.5 motor and drivetrain that is on the RL. pretty badass **** if you ask me... and no, honda will NEVER make a V8, just because honda is in the business of being "enviromentally friendly", or at least thats what they are marketing themselves as to set them apart from ford, nissan, so on...
