The Honda SUT concept shown at Detroit's auto show last January and due at dealers in spring will be called the Ridgeline. The 2006 Ridgeline, Honda say, will be powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 with a five-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, a powertrain familiar to owners of the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX. The Ridgeline will come standard with four-wheel anti-lock brakes, side curtain airbags, and stability control. The Ridgeline has not been priced, but the production version will be shown at the 2005 Detroit auto show, to be held in January.

I know it probably isn't a big deal, but when they use that, it gets me mad [:'(] It's a truck for heavens sake.

Hmm... it looks very GMish to me.

 

Hrm. So it'll be like a Chevy Avalanche but based off a transverse-engine unit-body vehicle. Hardly a "truck" IMO. I can't see anyone caring other than current Honda owners who want some sort of pickup.
