My 2004 Silverado Z71 4x4 with the 4.8L V8 gets 15/20MPG when it's left in 2WD mode.

At least they got rid of the BBQ H-grill. It's still a stupid Ridgeline.

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

Refreshed? A new grille is "refreshed?"
Hmm...

I've mentioned this before - the Ridgeline's powertrain is obviously poorly suited for a truck. I'll be curious to see if Honda can do better with a future version.

Just as unappealing as the original.

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

If it doesn't get better fuel mileage, I don't understand the purpose of the Ridgeline (or many crossovers) at all. I think it fits a lot of people's mentalities: if it sucks, it must be better. Some people just aren't comfortable with having something thats really nice, or good.

Enjoy your Cavalier.

If you care about the way your truck looks, you shouldn't have one in the first place, get out.

And it doesn't look retarded, unlike the Pilot, while keeping that same basic grille design.

Nice incremental improvement, IMO.

Does this thread really require personal attacks?

Well it is coming from a Frog in a Pontiac Aveo. Quebec is not known for its hospitality.

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

Honda nailed the headlights and hood.

That grille is awful.

Re: Refreshed Ridgeline Spied

I hated the pilot, but this somehow works for it I think. I still wouldn't buy it (nor would I buy a full size truck of any kind), but it's not awful.
