It’s unique but not unique enough you can’t get parts or aftermarket support. If you want to be different I can think of many worse places to spend your money.

I might have considered it, but I can’t make do with anything less than 6,500lbs towing. I have a 7,000lb rated trailer.

Heard a lot of horror stories about the ZF transmission in them too, not a car I want to buy used out of warranty.

I’m hopeful Americans are largely finding common ground on many many issues and beginning to wake up from ideology soaked propagandistic news corporations that have had us at each other’s necks for decades.

This doesn’t seem like a conspiracy. It sounds like a drunk guy plowed into people standing in the road at midnight. The protesters seems to have anticipated this might happen so they set up cars on the perimeter but the defenses couldn’t stand up against a truck driving at a high rate of speed.

Used Ridgeline is going to have less tech and far worse efficiency

This was my first thought too. Particularly since I imagine Toyota has better parts availability around the world.

It’s also a segment where perceived toughness outweighs everyday comfort and usability.

Looks pretty trucky to me. Lets see how many of them sell for less than $30K. Maybe there is a market for a cheap FWD truck like thing.

Well, the $20K number originally tauted is BS. It didn’t even include the required delivery charge. We all know that. It’s going to be $30K out the door for most people. 36-37K for one equipped close to a Ridgeline base model.

Sympathy? For a company? None. I feel sorry for the employees though. The government handed the rental car companies welfare faster than they did for normal people.

I don’t agree that’s it’s gross but at the same time I don’t understand all the gushing. It’s essentially a cheaper not as nice Ridgeline. The Ridgeline hasn’t exactly been setting sales records. After the initial blast of sales most new cars get, I wonder it it’ll keep selling well?

The point is that the default action of government in the US is to cater to the price gouging businesses at the expense of the people. The tourism authority could have publicly complained about how the price gouging is hurting tourism instead of going after the people who figured out how to work around this insane…

Hawai‘i Tourism Authority does not condone visitors renting moving trucks and vans for leisure purpose

The Element probably had two cats. Primary bolted to the engine and secondary under the car. The secondary is pretty optional. The ECU doesn’t read its condition. Your friends should be able to just have it welded back up.

There are going to be VW tuners jailbreaking that software to enable free autonomous driving within a few months of release.

This. I buy stuff to pay the artist then copy it all to my harddisk. I only keep the DVD’s around to prove I bought the videos. Even then I’ve been tempted to declutter. Same for my books and music. As long as I paid for it once, I feel perfectly justified to keep a digital copy as long as I don’t give away the…

I’m wondering this too. There’s not $1500 in palladium in those things. Also why aren’t they going after the buyers? Seems like only a specialized buyer could sell these on.

People are missing my point. The idea of a few bad apples is that it’s “few”.  I’m just pointing that maybe it’s more than a few.   

Sadly I agree. Any interaction with the cops is at best a neutral time waster and at worst ends up with life changing problems or death if the cop is on a bad mood.
