Honda’s Refined Pickup Gets Upgrades The Ridgeline has been around for a few years now, so the folks at Honda thought it would be a good idea to freshen it up for 2009. To start with, they gave it a mild facelift. The grille now resembles that of the Honda Pilot SUV. The headlights, taillights [...]
ALL NEW, YET MUCH THE SAME The last Honda Pilot was a rather generic looking SUV. I remember losing my test car one time in a parking lot full of similarly styled sport-utes. For 2009, Honda completely redesigned the Pilot, and you know what, it still looks about the same. The grille and the headlights [...]

This is a bitter pill for many to swallow, because it often means, not only giving up size, but luxury features as well.
