Nasty looking front end, like that new Pilot.

Woof, that is one ugly dog; however, I believe that unibody truck thingy will be the future for many "cubicle cowboys", as they pose their way to the office in King Ranch luxuriousness.

No wonder why they are not selling that great. So the benefit over a BOF is what? I am sure they will start to re-engineer the powertrains for more efficiency. I wonder if it will get the 23 MPG highway of the Pilot?

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

So that's what the Ridgeline looks like with knockoff NBS Silverado wheels. Interesting.

It still looks like ****.

It's cheaper and faster in the build process for the inibody , especially if it's a 2wd model.

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

Just when you thought Honda couldn't produce an even uglier vehicle...

What has happened over there? Honda used to crank out designs that were very clean, simple, and attractive. (Older preludes and Accords, etc.)

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

It doesn't look any better or worse than the current one. Doesn't matter, the sheeple will buy it thinking it gets wonderful milage but it's actually WORSE than an Avalanche!

I like how they only cover the Honda H on the grille. Gee, couldn't tell what it was without that clue!

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

I still think Honda took the word 'grille' and thought 'grill', I swear the front of that thing looks 'bout ready to cook a ribeye.

That's sex on wheels!

Nasty 'possum sex with beady red eyes, gnarled teeth and rat tails entwined in their girations.
