I too spent some time thinking about it because to me it is such a gross oversight.

The only thing I came up with is I wonder if the 2-way opening talegate gave them some unique locking mechanism problems and they just deemed the need not worthy of a solution.

 

I think the trailer weighs more than that CRX!

 

Rob, not everyone agrees, go for it. Just don't call me and tell me you lost the S, the trailer and the Ridgeline during a steep downhill drive...

 

Hey, you saw black with tan?

The one at the dealership I saw was black with charcoal interior?

Do we actually get more choices than the US? (They just get black and tan).

I'm confused.

(No tailgate lock is stupid too).

 

Especially when you consider that CRX might not have an engine.
Look at the gap between the tires and the body front to back...

 

this black one had two tone interior - it could have been a charcoal/tan combo....anyways, with the chrome accents, it was sweet.

 

I'd rather have the black/tan than just the charcoal. Was kind of disappointed to see the all black interior when I opened the door actually.

Heh, and Doug, I don't think towing the S anywhere is in the cards. Most towing would probably be a boat - a couple of times a year at that.

 

I don't know anything about the Ridgeline, but perhaps when you lock the doors, the rear gate is locked, unlock the doors and its released, just no key required?

 

Yeah, but what you talk of is a lack of brakes. I think the Ridgeline has equal sized brakes versus the Titan to tell you the truth.

Regardless, I don't think I'd be towing the S2k with anything anytime soon.

 

Understood, and also, you always have to factor in environment. If I lived in Florida, state of no elevation changes, my opinion would be different, but I live in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate, we don't have flat land... I want to go to Lime Rock, getting there is one hell of a difficult drive, I want to go to Road America, getting there is a looooong haul and I don't want to deal with a tired truck en route.

Oh, and I'll race ya, my Titan, trailer and S against your Ridgeline, trailer and boat.
