2017 Honda RIDGELINE

I'm a fan of the design from the a-pillar BACK.

The front end screams (at least to me) "minivan."

Otherwise they did an outstanding job.
 
It's a nice looking refresh...

Where would you put your legs if you had to ride in the back seat?
 
My opinion on the Ridgeline may be a little biased as my daily commuter is a lifted F-250.
 
Looks like the trucks you'd see in the NASCAR Truck Series.
 
Dumbest thing to have a swinging tail gate..... If you have to move a couch?!

It swings or drops. I'm a former Ridgeline owner and I bet you would be surprised how often you would swing it rather than drop it if you had that option.
 
Not a fan of a gauge cluster that is digital only on the speedometer, I'd want a traditional speedo. $35,000 and no Nav system :doh:

Every NAV system on factory vehicles I've used suck anyway. I haven't found a way to modify the route either. I do a lot of cross country driving for work and I always have to have Google maps up. The NAV system always wants to find the main highway only routes and the last trip from Denver to Oklahoma I took, it was directing me to a route that was 75 miles and an hour longer than Google maps. I've been in back wood areas that the system said had closed roads even though I knew they were open and it was trying to take me way out of the way. I couldn't ignore the closed road messages and it refused to let me take them.

This was in my 2016 Titan XD, so the NAV system is about as up to date as you can get.

haha thats exactly what I thought when I saw that truck for the first time.
It felt like..... they converted mini van into a truck lol
 
I looked at the undercarriage while several were still on the truck. It might work well on pavement, but the suspension is too dainty for offroad use. It might sell well for people that are looking for a refined, midsized cargo hauler. At least it lost its Buck Rogers styling.
