Also, the Aztek was mentioned? I thought that was the worst looking vehicle on the market, and never sold well? Or at least that's what I thought from reading the reviews. I guess the press keeps forgetting about the Element, and Scion XB....
I'm surprised and happy to see the Pontiac G6 on the list. Overall GM has a lot of vehicles on the list, if I'm not mistaken more than any other manufacturer, of course they also have many more models than other manufacturers too...

JD Power does surveys of owners. These aren't some press awards. Aztek owners have always been pretty happy with their vehicles. Thank goodness there are people out there that aren't slaves to fashion.
As much as I hate to say it, the Ridgeline is about as capable as other midsize trucks, particularly when you measure it against how most people actually use them. Small trucks (and even a lot of full-size) are often used as either second or primary family vehicles. They aren't out hauling loads of fence posts into the mountains to keep the cattle penned up. The Ridgeline does well at duties its buyers give it, although it's rather pricey. It's not an off-road vehicle like the other trucks in this class can be, but it plays one on Honda's TV ads, and that's enough for a lot of buyers who never go off-road anyway.
