That is a nice article about the Ridgeline. I guess that the styling of the vehicle is not for everyone.

While I wont call the Ridgeline pretty, it sure isnt as bad looking as the Aztek. ;)

The Aztek was [is] hideous. It is one thing to have 'unique' styling but that car was just plain ugly!

I don't see what the big deal is...it doesn't look any worse than the Avalanche. IMO, it looks better because I think the Avalanche has way too many plastic parts that look like plastic on its body. Also the comment about the 5' bed--it's the same length as any of the other midsize pickup beds with 4 doors 'cept, maybe, the Dakota. Another place where Ridgeline beats the competition is the width of the bed between wheelwells. That Ridgeline poster on my cubicle wall is working... :cool:
