I did say, “If”. At 6k it’s not going to gain any traction in the US market.

If it can reach US shores with an MSRP of $3k or less, it will be a success. Any higher and it will be eaten alive by the more reliable Japanese bikes.

Neither are you.

This is a great adventure vehicle. You just have to take it off the back of that hideous truck-thing.

You are in no position to judge my driving stamina. Just because you can’t drive for 500 miles straight safely, doesn’t mean I can’t.

I don’t view a pickup as an ideal single vehicle for most people, because most people don’t need a pickup at all. The Ridgeline is just the latest in a trend of vehicles which are trying to look as much like a truck as possible while actually being as car-like as possible. Same with all CUVs, which are just tall cars…

Same ballpark, yeah. But then the author is explicitly stating that anyone who hauls more than 1600lbs at a time is not normal.

DON’T: Get married in the first place.

I want to see her as a main host, and carry on a hilarious rivalry with the Stig. This alone would make new Top Gear worth watching.

1600lb payload capacity isn’t bad at first glance, but that’s probably including passengers. If you have a driver and three passengers at an American 200lbs each, you’re down to 800lbs in the bed. Still reasonable for most folks.

I have not found it to be so. I quite enjoy long drives, and don’t get tired or bored like many folks seem to. I haven’t had much occasion to do so, but I’ve found that at about 16 hours straight I start to get fatigued. So around the 1,000 mile mark, I’ll stop for a break and catch some sleep.

Nothing. I drive 500 miles each way from Pennsylvania to North Carolina and back, at least once a year, and I only ever stop for fuel. My current car gets about 400 miles to the tank. If I had a car that had a range of 500+ miles on a single tank, I wouldn’t stop at all.

No sane person is actually driving 650 miles on a road trip without stopping, at the very least, to pee, unless they’ve got a patented Torchinsky urination system. But, like I said, no sane person.

I am a crazy gun nut like the ones that everyone on the gawker network complains about. I want machine guns and assault weapons and silencers to be legal for everyone to buy. So with that being said, we crazy gun nuts have an ideal solution that satiates our paranoia about registration but also allows for background…

He was thinking 4th dimensionally.

Torch, you fool. Don’t you realize the REAL owners of Pep Boys have control over the Internet and have guided its development over the decades in order to prevent us from learning THE TRUTH?

Jay is a teetotaler. He doesn’t even drink coffee.

Tell that to Mr. Petersen.

The data leads to Viper. Just do us all a favor and get a pre-2003 widow maker. Best looking, and the quirkiest/most entertaining to drive (and write about) for a year.

So wait, all the campus police currently use revolvers? Any pistol that uses a detachable magazine is semiautomatic (if not a rare fully automatic machine pistol).
