It has a name...Ridgeline

No pics of the truck on www.hondacars.com yet...

Anybody sold on this already and going to buy it immediately when it comes
out?

OK I'm trying it imagine an uglier truck . . . . .

Still trying . . . . . . .

Nope can't do it, I can't imagine anything uglier than that. ;-)

Looks like this was the starting point for the styling exercise.

the bastard child of a honda pilot and chevy avalanche. with some honda
element thrown in for extra weirdness.

 

man, that thing is butt ugly.

I guess the answer is NO then...

 

Oh I don't know. I felt the same way about the Element when it first came out,
now I kind of like them. Oh IMO the Element is still ugly, but in a good
loveable, practical get the job done kind of a way.

I agree with SoCalMike that is looks an awful lot like the Avalanche, which I've
never warmed up to. But that could also be my prejudice against anything made
by GM.

It's fugly.

Uglier truck, no, but the Pontiac Az-Crack is an uglier car (not by
much, mind you!)

Well, you're right, the Element does kind of grow on you, but this is
Pontiac Aztec ugly...

Kinda looks like something that should be a Transformer toy. Maybe the
designer is just that old...

 

Nothing is that ugly!

 

I know! But this is in the same league, if not equal to it...

Nope. Already got an Odyssey with tow package. 4 wheel Independent suspension,
sounds nice.

 

As an Element owner, maybe I'm a bit different than the standard,
traditional buyer. But, I think the outside looks okay. I like
"different" though. Was looking at more of the concept images and
pre-production images over at http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com and
the inside looks a bit like a spaceship to me though. So, I'm anxious
to see newer pics of the interior when they become available.

Like I say, this looks "different" and I think that's not such a bad
thing. As long as it performs like a true truck when we get to see how
it does...
