How is current availability?
Are they selling fast due to the current incentives or is rising gas prices keeping the sales slow on these?
Do you guys think there will be any leftovers for me at the end of summer?
Thanks!

None of us can predict the future with accuracy, but here's my shot at it.
The 2009's will be out in July. There will be few if any incentives on the 2009's for a couple of reasons. The Ridgeline will be out of production for about 3 months due to a move in production facilities. This combined with the 2009's receiving some updates will result in an artifical shortage. No need for incentives. Elimination of the incentives and a planned price increase will make the 2009 look awfully expensive compared to a 2008 model. Early adopters of a new model always pay the highest price... just as the early 2006 buyers did.
If you're going to be looking for a 2008 in October you'll probably be OK. I don't think the incentives will be any better than they are right now. How many will be left in October is unknown. You may have to settle for a different color than you want, etc.
You'll be shopping in unusual circumstances... a vehicle with no current production. Hard to predict what will happen.
