The Ridgeline, although nice looking, always struck me as more of a car than a truly versatile truck. It did, and still does possess some pretty cool features. It was the first truck to incorporate an independent rear suspension, a unibody design and a tailgate that opened both like a car door and a traditional fold down pick-up style tailgate. <a href=\"http:\/\/news.pickuptrucks.com\/2010\/04\/is-the-honda-ridgeline-going-away.html\">Pickuptrucks.com<\/a> has now reported that the Ridgeline may in fact be meeting its demise in 2012 due to languishing sales. When first released in 2005 Honda was hoping to sell 50,000 + units but alas, they fell far short of their goal. 2009 saw just 16,464 units sold, which in all honesty does not really warrant a refresh. Only time will tell, but I think the writing is on the wall for the Ridgeline.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/G6iVIuN5aqc2GGDlpwAgMikOf6o\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/G6iVIuN5aqc2GGDlpwAgMikOf6o\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/G6iVIuN5aqc2GGDlpwAgMikOf6o\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/G6iVIuN5aqc2GGDlpwAgMikOf6o\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2005 Honda decided to take a stab at the North American pick-up market with it&#8217;s new Ridgeline light duty truck.
