I don't want to go down this road again. We'll let the Ridgeline's sales speak for it's success/failure.
I compared the 4-door models to one another seeing as how there is no 2-door ridgeline. That's about it.

Re: Ridgeline Competes in the Baja 1000

I'm not starting a fire here but, Over the weekend I went out window shopping and looked at several automobile. One was the Ridgeline. I didn't expect to see it going for $32,600. I do believe it was fully loaded. In comparison I saw a Silverado with 4-doors, 4X4 and Z71 pkt. fully loaded for $35,200. Just an observation of interest.

Yep, it's true that the Ridgeline is about as pricey as a very well equipped full-size truck, but you might also note that most of the compact and midsized trucks get up into the low 30k range when loaded up too, and many are missing features that the Ridgeline has, even at that price point.

The Ridgeline is certainly not a bargain seeker's truck nor is it a super manly truck. But to much of you people's dismay, the majority of the market these days doesn't use trucks for much more than trips to home depot and they tend to care more about ride quality and feature content than they do about towing capacity or bargain pricing - not that the Ridgeline exactly suffers with towing capacity compared to like-sized competitors, but still...

Re: Ridgeline Competes in the Baja 1000

I was expressing a comparison. I think people can do whatever they want with their hard earned money. I, however, would take the Silverado. That is if I wanted a truck. I guess I'm trying to say is, "Differant strokes for differant folks". LOL
