id also try to get as close as possible, if not lower than invoice. i
dont think the ridgeline is breaking any sales records. a lot of people
see it for what it is- not a "truck", just a honda pilot made to look
like one.

Oh boy, are YOU and "they" wrong. For a first timer, except for a bad
choice of tires, it showed pretty well in the most recent Baja 1000. It is
a real truck in spite of your uninformed opinion. Check out www.vtec.net

It's definitely a real truck (sarcasm). Place a load of dirt or rocks in
the bed and try to figure out how you can get to the spare tire if you get a
flat. Read every single review and you'll quickly realize it's not a truck.
It's the ugliest copy of a Chevy Avalanche that I've ever seen. People are
buying it because they will never use it as a truck and because it has an H
on the front end. It's just an ugly-mobile with no real purpose.

The spare tire argument is really lame.... If that's the only reason why you
don't like the car, it's a poor one. Chevy Avalanche is a totally different
truck.

Spare tires should be accessible with little effort and should consider
the purpose of the vehicle. Whether rocks or an ATV, the spare should
be accessible without having to unload the truck. Imagine a flat during
heavy rain or on a snow covered road at -15°C ...

With the Ridgeline and the misguided V-6 Honda Accord Hybrid, Honda have
lost it.

Gee, you reckon some enterprising accessory maker (or 3) will come out with
a rack that will fit the tail gate to correct this relatively minor problem?

How, exactly, is the V6 Honda Accord Hybrid misguided?

i wouldnt call it "misguided". it does what its supposed to do. but...
it answers a question no one really asked

and AFAIK, its not eligible for california carpool lane status, or
government tax credits.

almost EVERY prius i see has the stickers on the rear quarter announcing
its "occupant-only carpool lane status"

Yeah well, a car thats owned by so many posers who are also actors,
like, oooh the GOVERNER. Gee, 45-50mpg aint much, pretty much any car
of that size with a diesel engine would do the same, and many smaller
ones would do a lot better.

Prius - marketing and feel good only. Efficiency, no. Oh, and the
Guvenator having one was NOT a factor at all, I'm SURE in giving the
priass that status.

strange as it might seem, people have more than one car.

Right now i have 5, with a 6th comming soon. Admittedly most are late
80s workhorses, but then i'm not as rich as him.

I think we've been here before....

*All* cars should get worse mileage on the freeway than in the city - more
drag. Hybrids gain most of their advantage by better adapting to in-town
driving conditions. The current generation is scarcely any better on the
freeway than conventional cars are, but much better in town.

I've been frequenting a VW TDi group to learn more about how to get the most
out of my new turbodiesel work truck. Some of the VW TDi owners brag about
getting 35 mpg in town under favorable conditions, which agrees with the EPA
estimates. But our 2002 Prius gets an honest 45-50 mpg in town (our main
driving location) in warm weather, and consistently over 40 mpg fully loaded
on long 75 mph trips. At 65 mph with lighter loads it will turn in 50-60
mpg. Efficiency, absolutely. It is also the most fun of any car I've driven
since I had to sell my beloved Lotus 30 years ago.

A properly designed vehicle doesn't require after market solutions to
design blunders.

Forgive me for believing that the objective of hybrids is to save
energy. The Hybrid makes no (or very little) gain in actual gas economy.

The only logical reason to buy a hybrid is reduced emissions. It is for
the environmentalists.
