"Pardon me, but the Ridgeline looks like a girlie truck, where competitors like the Dodge Dakota have the masculine cues that most pickup buyers, men and women, seem to want and which befit a vehicle that by definition and tradition is tough and capable of hard work."

Where does this guy get off? I don't know, but here in Miami people RAVE to me over this truck, how tough and "cool" looking it is. Girlie truck? Oh please!

"As another example, the Dakota, a truck sized between the Ridgeline and a full-size pickup, is available in extended cab with a 6.5-foot bed, for $28,345 with all-wheel drive."

Yeah, but drive the Dakota and you'll notice the immediate differences in quality, fit and finish, not to mention gas mileage with that thirsty and anemic V8 and the lack of safety features you'll have to forego or pay more for that are standard issue on the Ridgeline. If comparisons are made, at least compare apples to apples.
