Facts. I absolutely love my 2019 Ridgeline. It’s also an absolute breeze to do fluid exchanges on it on ramps. A 17mm wrench and a 3/8 ratchet wrench w/extension is all I need to change the oil, transmission fluid, rear diff and transfer case.

I’ll take an Escalade. The Wagoneer is one ugly vehicle.

This thing is grossly overpriced. The C8 z06 starts at $106k and GM wants $150k for a Tahoe with a supercharger?

Buy the Ridgeline.

I owned the previous Gen HR-V (6 speed manual) and now own A 5 speed manual Honda Element. It makes a huge difference. Even though my Element weighs 500 pounds more, the torque difference makes driving the Element far more enjoyable. I do miss the great gas mileage of the R18 engine, though.

Honda fanboy here and this thing is very disappointing. Mainly because of the engine choice, Honda should’ve made the 1.5t the standard engine. I’m not seeing why I would buy this over a CX-30 which imo looks much nicer and has a far more powerful engine with almost identical mpg.

A brand new Civic hatchback is $25k. SUV cargo-like space and gets 40 mpg highway.

Acura RDX with SH-AWD. Roomy, plenty of power, and can get over 30 mpg in ideal conditions. And the AWD system is amazing.

Good looking car, but it only puts down 290ish wheel horsepower and weighs over 4200 pounds. Acura needs to bump the horsepower by 50 and get the car on a diet.

Just browsed their website, and the only two vehicles I think look ok are the Accent and Veloster N. Everything else imo is going to age poorly.

Maybe GM will replace it with something with better quality and reliability. Nah, they can’t even build their bread and butter v8s to last 5k as of late.

Acura MDX SH-AWD over both. It may not be the fastest, but Acura’s AWD system is simply amazing.

I’ve owned one for 13 years. If there’s one absolute must upgrade for the these vehicles, it’s getting a rear sway bar. I have the TRD one and it’s a night and day difference in handling.

That thing would move pretty good with a Godzilla swap!

Quality is down throughout the auto industry. Roll the dice and get one, it’s an awesome vehicle.
