Yes, a large number of pre-orders were manuals. Probably dropped a bit by now. And a type “S” is reportedly in the works.  The car will be a classic and eventually the “fanboys/girls” will start customizing them, if they haven’t already.  The naysayers were wrong.  Part of the value is that it is based on the Civic…

Its crazy they don't have a Acura badged Ridgeline. The truck segment practically prints money. And there are people who will pay 50k for an Acura type-sh truck. Not sure which 3 letters they would stick together for the stupid name though. 

I suspect it might

More than anything, the biggest change is how much higher the belt line is (scale is as close as I can get with MS Paint). It adds a ton of visual mass over older trucks.

Blew all 4 doors off my V8 powered American Sedan. And didn’t have to stop at the next gas station. And actually could make “deadman’s turn” at a speed faster than an idle in 1st.

If you live in a snowy climate: getting a second set of wheels and having dedicated snow tires and summer tires. There are not many things more relieving than being able to drive through blizzard conditions without the anxiety of your car slipping all over the road.

I’ve never timed it, but my ‘22 Camry SE Hybrid gets along pretty good on the highway. It’s also only rated 44 city 47 hwy, and I’ve been averaging a hand calculated 52 MPG.

No, it’s the ‘69. The ‘68's itty-bitty round tail lights suck.

Here’s my vote:

Truck bed trunks. My Ridgeline has one like this, which is SOOO useful if you don’t want to have a cover on your bed but still keep things dry AND locked. Also has a drain plug if you want to fill it with ice and use it as a cooler. I am using it constantly for grocery trips and also keep a couple small things like my…

People have been racing to angrily scrape those off now that gas is dropping.

I still don’t understand the Ranger.  It doesn’t really make a compelling case for a purchase now being between the F150 and the Maverick.  They should have just called the Maverick the Ranger.

Oh, I win. Or at least I have an interesting take on this. Hear me out.

I present the first-gen Honda Ridgeline.

The Honda Ridgeline, adequate in almost every way, and therein lies the problem. It is the perfect blend of adequacy and practicality, peppered with a heavy, heavy dose of Honda reliability. You’ll be bored…

and some Potato Olés.

it’s time to mandate (and enforce) a standardized bumper height for all vehicles.

Peanut M&M’s are a favorite road trip snack of mine, but I also have a tendency to eat too many and then just feel a bit gross while I wish I didn’t eat so many for the remainder of the trip.

I can’t wait for the overly busy and try hard styling fad to die.

I’m very curious about the Hurricane too

That’s the City Express, which was a rebadged NV200. The Express/Savana are all GM.
