2017 Honda Ridgeline

[FiestaST]

So all bakkie threads I make generate a fair bit of interest. What about the Honda bakkie from the States. This is the latest Honda Ridgeline.

"Honda unveiled the all-new 2017 Ridgeline truck at the 2016 North American International Auto Show, once again challenging conventional thinking in the pickup truck market with Honda-exclusive features, design and technology that help Ridgeline set new benchmarks for versatility, capability and comfort in a midsize pickup."

3.5-liter, direct-injected i-VTEC™ V-6 engine ,they did not go the turbo diesel route like the ranger and hilux ,it might pay off for them!

Some people prefer nice big V6!

No. Just no. That looks ugly.

No. Just no. That looks ugly.

Not so much ugly as just ordinary. No wow factor; no thoughtful design.

 

[Brawler]

Interior looks better than most though.

Also think it may look better in the flesh.

 

[Drifter]

That will sell here. There will probably be a "Wildtrack" version that will change the looks dramatically.

No. Just no. That looks ugly.

It looks the same as all the other double cabs available.

nice bakkie, never seen a Honda Bakkie before,

problem is will NEVER come to SA though as LHD only, make for the Yanks exclusivly

if they sell it in japan, then there's a chance it will come to SA.

This 'pick up truck' is exclusive to North America. They use a petrol engine, as Muricans don't know what diesel is.

I like it, very good. Pity it will never outsell the Amakrok.

If you want to make threads for US only pick-ups at the Detroit show, pick the nice ones! Where is the Titan Warrior?

That's not offensive on the outside, and the interior is actually quite nice (reminds me a bit of a bakkie-fied HRV).

3.5L V6 sounds like the 200kw lump found in the latest US-spec Accord, not a bad engine for what it's supposed to do.

It'll never make it to SA, but nice to see nonetheless.

It's a concept my buddy. I try to avoid threads of concept cars.

You're welcome. I try to be global; not just SA-specific cars

The Amarok is a better vehicle.
