Default New addition to the family

So I got the dealership pn Friday and had to have to window rubber replaced on the S. Salesman who sold me was sitting on his duffer that morning. Talked him into taking me out in the 06 Ridgeline..

Oooops, we bought it

Nicest truck I've ever driven.







Sorry for the crap pics but the Treos camera phone is so so...

Top shelf stuff guys. This truck talks to you... And answers back. Tell it to set internal temp... She does it, set radio, she does it... Tell it to find you an ATM or gas station... This woman tells ya and displays it.

I have a ton of add ons coming but dealership said 2 weeks for parts to come in and 4 freekin days to add them all..

Front brush bumper, tow package, chrome sidesteps, window sheilds, chrome wheels, chrome bumper trim, extended tailgate rack, tonneau cover, rear view video camera.. I can't wait. I'll update pics when the options come in and get added on.
Honda got it right with this 06.

Holy crap...

edit - oh yeah, nice trucks guys. I initially didn't really care for the looks of the truck until I started seeing them on the road.

Oh sure, they'll offer the stupid Ridgline with black paint and tan interior, but not the S2000.

DAMN YOU HONDA! DAMN YOU!

First white one I have seen. Looks good, but will be tough to keep clean.

Why would the front-drive biased AWD system be a problem for most truck buyers? It is still more useful than an Escalade with 20+ inch wheels.

The Ridgeline is better suited to most truck/SUV buyers for what they will use it for, than a conventional body on frame pickup. The drive to soccer practice or to pick up mulch doesn't require a heavy duty vehicle.

BTW everyone, don't turn this thread into a hate-fest. We are just discussing our opinions.
