Heaven help the Ridgeline’s suspension integrity. Do you have any idea how much a pallet of bricks weighs?

Roadkill in 30 years?

Gravel? HAHA! What do you think this truck is?

They can reflect, but they don’t define.

Before I buy another bike, I’m waiting for self-driving cars to take over for the majority of road users, as the biggest danger to me wasn’t myself, but car drivers who liked to pretend I didn’t exist by merging on top of me, cutting me off, and so on.

It’s got a good motor (likely identical to the Pilot’s 280hp DI J35), and it should be quick enough. It will likely be paired with the 9spd auto, which should make the most of the engine.

If you need a certain type of vehicle to feel manly, you’re doing it wrong.

Unlikely they’re ditching it. It worked quite well in the original Ridgeline, though it required that ugly buttress and some integrated frame rails in the undercarriage to achieve the desired torsional stiffness.

True, but Honda people can be a bit rabid in their loyalty. For example, my dad bit the Honda apple back in 1998 with a used Accord wagon, and hasn’t bought any non-Honda since.

On top of that, if it uses the 9-speed auto, it should be able to have an exceptionally low 1st gear. Not sure if that ZF-based trans design has that kid of flexibility, though. It doesn’t seem to be used for such a purpose in the Jeep Cherokee, where you’d think that’d be a good alternative to having a dedicated low…

Close — that’s more what the old Jeep Commanche was using.

Honestly, a huge drop in private car ownership is the inevitable result of autonomous vehicles, and gives a boost to the EV take rate as well.

We encounter a bunch here at my employer. Some that you didn't list, probably because they're obscure or only in other countries:

Startlingly familiar, this is...

Perhaps, and I doubt he'd fit with the top up. Extreme example, anyway. That guy's got girth AND height.

Little foreigners? I'll have you know that I'll wedge my fat American butt into any number of tiny, jewel-pinching cars to enjoy a great drive!

I don't think I could stomach looking at that color every day, but my Rabbit Convertible NEEDS those seats!

"...available in California and South Korea, along with limited availability in dealerships around Oregon and Canada."

The problem is — knowing Atlanta — raise it to 70mph and people will drive 90-95mph.
