What is your basis for saying they aren't selling well? It isn't like Honda expected to sell half a million units. 50k units before Sept 2006 certainly seems feasible when you consider that they have already sold about 15k since March. Any dealership that was expecting this to be a high volume high profit item was off their rocker. Honda didn't intend it to be, and it isn't likely that it is going to be.purduealum91 said:Capt,

Bottom Line: The Ridgeline's innovative features and efficient design won raves, but it has yet to meet Honda's expectations. Honda hoped to sell 50,000 to 60,000 Ridgelines a year, but sales are well short of that pace.
