Congratulations on your new truck and that great deal. You will find a wealth of info on this site and we all look forward to your contributions.
Just purchased
After three weeks of vacilating on whether I should get the Ridgeline now vs later this year, I finally gave in and purchased the truck yesterday 
. I shopped at only one dealer. I have been with this dealer/salesman since 1989 and have purchased five vehicles from him over the years ('90 Civic LX; '92 Accord EX; '98 Accord EX; 2000 Accord EX-L; 2003 Accord EX-L) plus I have referred numerous family and friends to him - he is THAT above board as a salesman, AND he doesn't play games (with me at least).
This truck is replacing a 1999 Dodge Dakota SLT club cab that will not transport my new born baby (otherwise I wouldn't be in the market). I NEED a truck for the convenience and the Ridgeline fits my needs perfectly - plus when I test drove the thing I was hooked!
I got the RTL S/R at straight invoice plus destination with rear mud guards and the chrome bumper trim for a total of $30,330. No gimmicks, no games. Now all I'll have to do is get used to the conspicuous nature of the truck (everybody stares ).

Ain't no such thing as keeping a low profile in this baby. Oh well...
Oh well... I really thought the rubber necking thing was a little exaggerated until I was driving from Albuquerque to Santa Fe ( I live in Taos and had driven to Albuquerque to have a body shop check out my hail damage) and this guy keeps up with me (75, 80, 85, 70, etc) then passes me, pulls in front and then slows down a bit down the road so I pass him etc. This goes on for about 15 miles until I pull off to gas up and he follows me off and then parks and walks over and starts talking about the truck.
Of course, I show him all the neat stuff (trunk - very large and nice interior, etc) and we talk about the different models, yada yada yada and whatever and I thought he would never leave. Nice guy and is in the market for a pickup but it has to carry his new Honda 1200. I said I didn't know about that but gave him this site and said to check it out.
Nice truck. I sure do like it. The trunk in the bed has got to be my most used item on this truck - a place for everything and everything in its place
