I think Honda hurried when stopped production of the first Ridgeline generation. It's a shame, because he still has potential! All they need to do is modify the interior, fresh up a bit the exterior and that all! I think that I'm not the only one who thinks so. I would like to verify this and listen to people's opinions.
The powertrain is still too weak and/or has poor mileage compared to all of its competitors. It was less of an issue in 2006 when the truck came out, but it is completely smoked by the domestics now.
