Will Acura come out with a Ridgeline model

Sure like it, seems to have everything thing I want.

Just when I was ready to pull the trigger on a TL they come out with this.

Ridgeline is the Honda Truck no? Any specs on it?

By the way, I think this belongs in Cars & Bikes.

i think they will offer it, the styling might change a bit since the design out is just a concept. but the japanese are trying slowly to invade the pickup truck market(middle america). the Titan is one of the best pickup trucks on the market today. i think in the next 10 years there will be a pretty big swing in pickup truck sales and ford is going to be in trouble.

i doubt it... not much of a market for "luxury" trucks, but then again acura isnt exactly a luxury company compared to lexus and the likes.

(admit it, lexus is more luxury than acura...i really think acura should spend more on its dealerships and service. some are great but a lot.. suck.)

Agreed ... just seems oxymoronic. You'd be scared to scratch the truck bed!

Really... Jeep Grand Chrokee, Cadillac EXT, Range Rover, Hummer H2, Lincoln Mark LT...

I'd say there is...

On the other hand, there is the Lincoln Blackwood that failed miserably.

Okay, maybe I have no idea what I was talking about... But in any case, I wouldn't really buy a luxury truck for the reason that I'd be too afraid to do anything to it.

I agree with you 100%. I do not know exactly why there is a market for a luxury truck, but hey that's me.... Why buy a 5K, 10K, 50K Rolex? A Timex/Casio has more functionality and nobody is likely to kill you for it but.... Why buy a 15K designer dress, when there is a $49 identical knockoff?

Most people with money like to flaunt it I guess. I suppose I would succomb as well if I fell into millions...

Those are SUV's not trucks there is a difference. Most SUV's are just used to carry people around without the minivan look while trucks are often used for hauling. Therefore I don't expect a luxury truck
