Cmon...a J35 putting out 200-250 bhp
hell we already have 2L putting out that.
Besdies the J35 in the TL is ~300.

Sounds piggy and underpowered

By the time Honda actually does this I will be in need of a Ridgeline...
Better hurry up then because the fugly Ridgeline stands a very good chance of being discontinued...
Last year, Honda sold 16,464 Ridgelines, a 51.4% drop from the previous year.

FWIW, that wasn't last year, that was the year before last.

Calendar year Ridgeline sales:
2006 - 50,193
2007 - 42,795 (15.0% drop)
2008 - 33,875 (21.1% drop)
2009 - 16,464 (51.4% drop)
2010 - 16,142 (1.3% drop, basically flat)

^ Still not looking good for the Ridgeline though
I'm sure it is going to go the way of the Element

Is the Ridgeline that bad of a truck?

I only drove one briefly.
IMO: Handles well, cool features, but very underpowered and 15/20 MPG is disappointing.

Of course, the only other truck I'd consider right now is a Double Cab 4WD V6 5spd manual Toyota Tacoma for $26,145. Which at 236 hp and 4130 lbs isn't much faster, and gets worse mileage at 14/18.

Nah, I'll stick with my old S-Runner. (About 20/22 mpg, and actually somewhat sporty.)

I liked mine, very much. Handles like a large accord and better than any other truck i have driven or owned. Seats were comfortable, storage was excellent, Nav was great, excellent sunroof, storage in bed, etc, etc. I had to take it easy on the throttle and averaged 19-20 consistently. I have never owned such a quality road trip vehicle. I loved mine. I had a RTL w/nav (leather, sunroof, etc, loaded) and leased it for $299 a month back in '06. I think I bought it in Dec '05. 6 months later and my business went to the chitter so I had to sell it as it was my company vehicle.

If you can deal with the mpg, a used loaded one would be a great bargain. My STi gets the exact same mileage but my foot isn't as ginger in it

I've seen those sales figures, and yeah, it does scare me about an opportunity to purchase a brand new one...earliest I will be in need would probably be late 2012.

Picture looks good.
Sounds boring as hell and probably another variant of the Accord Coupe...
