I'll be a buyer in a few months allowing for some kinks to be worked out.

I've owned ford and chevy trucks but my '06 Ridgeline is the best truck I've owned. I was very impressed with the all wheel drive while off road, and the overall comfort level. The trunk is also a winner for me. Just passed 200k miles without a single issue.

This has been one of the ugliest trucks out there since it came out. Looks a lil bit better now but...

Get a Nissan Frontier, basically the same thing but not as ugly. At least I think so.

Yes, I have a Frontier

I got a 2016 pilot BASICALLY THE SAME THING. 16K and not a single issue. I'd get one if I did not need to tow more than about 3K.

That pic looks better than the ones that were at the dealership the other day, they looked like plain Jane, boring trucks.

From the side they look like half an accord and half pilot.

LSUCouyon just got one. It is really nice. Alot quieter, smooth ride, and better gas milage. He got 24 mpg in it coming up to my place.
My 06 has 274k on it now. Not sure which way I will go. Thinking Tacoma right now.

Very nice machine, it's a Honda. Most people don't need to tow 11,000 pounds.

The crew cabs are the same price as a f150, sierra, etc. They maybe get an extra 1-2 mpg, and the cab is much smaller. I really don't see the market for these?

Full size trucks can be had for less than $2,000 and sometimes the same price or less. I just don't understand.

I like my midsize for parking downtown, but I will be upgrading to full size with the next truck.

The price point really kills the mid-size market for me. I can get a more capable full sized truck for the same price and often less than most mid sized. The full sized trucks also always have more configurations and options available.

The mid sized truck market fails at the only two things that would make me get one: price and fuel economy. They don't excel and often fail in both categories against full sized competition.

Ummm, thats actually not bad looking. A good Honda option would be incredible.

ETA-Okay, after looking at more than the pic in the OP, it does look much to car-ish. Looks like a pilot/crv and they stuck a bed on it.

It's supposed to be car-ish, it's a uni-body. I think it fills a niche and will sell very well. I'll stick to my Eco Diesel tbough.
