          Tot offtopic, dar pe aceeasi linie: Isuzu nu apartine/a GM? Daca da, care o sa-i fie soarta?
          Suzuki parca-si rascumparase o buna parte din actiuni de la GM. Gresesc?

                1. In the United States, Isuzu is mostly known for manufacturing rebadged Chevrolet Colorados as the Isuzu i-290 and the i-370, and also GMC's Envoy has been rebadged as the Isuzu Ascender.
                2. 1994 - Isuzu announces new vehicle exchange program with Honda, providing Honda with the Isuzu Rodeo (to be sold as the Honda Passport) and Isuzu Trooper (to be sold as the Acura SLX) and providing Isuzu with the Honda Odyssey (to be sold as the Isuzu Oasis). This has the effect of adding two SUVs to Honda's lineup and a minivan to Isuzu's lineup.
                (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
                Masina e buna....trage cu spatele....4x4 on fly....reductor pentru greu.....e tare . Daca dadeam cu ochii de el inainte de HONDA il luam...la pret e cam la fel.

                  Eu zic ca tot Honda e varianta mai buna, fara nici un fel de subiectivitate. La consum, cel putin, e cu ani lumina inainte, chiar fiind 3.5 benzina. Testat personal. Daca vrei sa te bagi, iti pun o vorba buna la baietii de la BV.

                    Am vazut o honda ridgeline undeva prin Adjud. Din fata am vazut ca e honda, am intors si capul dupa ea (era sa-l ating pe cel din fata, mergeam in coloana), dar spre rusinea mea habar n-am avut ce fel de honda este pana nu am ajuns acasa si m-am uitat pe net. Arata super masinuta aia, era de o culoare gri deschis, spre bleu.
                    Oare in romania pe cand vor aparea, chiar daca nu imi permit asa ceva, la un drive test tot as merge.

                      Ma pot lauda ca am vazut-o de cam multisor. Un pic inspaimantatoare, numai buna pentru americani, nu pentru puricarimea urbana europeana.

                            2009 Honda Ridgeline:

                            STYLING | 5 out of 10


                            Expert Quotes:

                            It'll attract crossover owners who hanker for a cargo bed
                            Automobile Magazine
                            There are some problems with the Ridgeline's styling and design
                            Cars.com
                            Some slight changes to the gauge shaping and to the choices of type styles for the tachometer and speedometer
                            Motor Trend


                            The 2009 Honda Ridgeline emerges from Honda's factories with quite a few changes for the latest model year, but don't expect them to be glaringly obvious.
                            From the outside, the new Honda Ridgeline looks relatively similar to the previous version, though that's not necessarily a good thing. Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com continue to indicate a lukewarm reception to the overall styling of this pickup, which Edmunds says is "available in just one four-door body style" that is segmented into "three trim levels: base RT, midlevel RTS and leather-lined RTL." Cars.com is the first to raise issues with the 2009 Honda Ridgeline's looks, noting "some problems with the Ridgeline's styling and design," including the fact that "a traditional bed cap or bed-mounted crossover toolbox won't fit, [and] there's a limited selection of tonneau covers." Reviewers at Automobile Magazine, however, appreciate the changes, remarking that this 2009 Honda's styling "works a lot better" than before. Specifically, updates for the 2009 Honda Ridgeline include "a redesigned front fascia, grille, bumper, and taillight assembly," according to Car and Driver. Motor Trend adds that this 2009 Honda pickup offering is "clearly designed to look more familial with the recently released and redesigned Honda Pilot," although some of the styling cues afford "the new Ridgeline a more masculine look."
                            On the inside of the Honda Ridgeline, you'll find a few more of the 50 improvements and changes that Honda claims to have made on the latest Ridgeline. Unfortunately, Automobile Magazine still feels that "whoever was in charge of control placement must have flunked human factors design," thanks to awkward elements, like a sunroof switch sitting next to the tachometer and a dome lamp switch that is isolated from all other cabin lighting controls. On the positive side, Car and Driver points out that this 2009 Honda model features "better switchgear throughout," and "it seems like almost everything inside has been revised in some way." Motor Trend delves into the Honda Ridgeline's tiny details to spot "slight changes to the gauge shaping and to the choices of type styles for the tachometer and speedometer." Despite the changes, ConsumerGuide still feels that "some radio adjustments require a stretch."

                            Conclusion:

                            Honda has demonstrated that it's not afraid to push the styling envelope, but with the 2009 Honda Ridgeline, the company might have been better served by showing a bit more restraint.



                            PERFORMANCE | 7 out of 10


                            Expert Quotes:

                            3.5-liter V-6 pulls this thing around fairly well
                            Automobile Magazine
                            Throttle response off idle is vastly improved
                            Motor Trend
                            Drives more like a car or minivan than a typical pickup
                            ConsumerGuide

                            With the Honda Ridgeline pickup, Honda has taken a very nontraditional approach to truck design. Unlike most competitors, the 2009 Honda Ridgeline is available with just one engine and transmission option, and the crossover-like unibody construction imbues this 2009 Honda with very impressive (for a truck) road manners.
                            All three trims of the 2009 Honda Ridgeline come with "a 3.5-liter V-6 coupled to a five-speed automatic and four-wheel drive," according to Car and Driver. Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com contain a lot of praise for this engine, which Automobile Magazine says "pulls this thing around fairly well, although quick sprints require revving it into its upper limits." Car and Driver notes, "for 2009, the engine receives new camshafts, larger intake valves, and a lightweight magnesium dual-stage intake manifold" that helps boost the horsepower "from 247 to 250, and torque is now 247 lb-ft, up from 245." Despite the minor power improvements, Car and Driver reports that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline's "tow rating remains at 5000 pounds."
                            The standard V-6 on this 2009 Honda routes its power to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic, which is similar to the setup on previous versions but with a few tweaks to improve overall performance. Motor Trend reports that the transmission offers "slightly different gear ratios, in some cases changed only 0.2 percent, to help to improve overall responsiveness." The results are impressive, according to ConsumerGuide, which claims that the Honda Ridgeline offers "better than adequate go, thanks in part to a smooth, responsive transmission." Automobile Magazine raves that the Ridgeline's "all-wheel-drive kept things well-planted" on their test drive, "even in a few washboarded dirt corners."
                            Although the 2009 Honda Ridgeline shares the same basic design as many crossovers, thanks to its V-6 engine and unibody construction, don't expect crossover-like fuel economy. The official EPA estimates for the 2009 Honda Ridgeline are 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway, which disappoints a lot of critics in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com. Automobile Magazine in particular points out that "if you're going to sell a unibody pickup with a V-6 on the basis of fuel economy, then you've got to do better than 15/20 mpg."
                            Despite its lack of V-8 power and dismal fuel economy, the Honda Ridgeline still manages to win many supporters thanks to its incredibly comfortable ride. Automobile Magazine feels that "driving the Ridgeline is a lot like piloting an Accord with a porch on the back," which means there's "only a slight handling penalty, not bad when you take into account the usefulness of the small bed." ConsumerGuide calls the ride quality "exemplary for a pickup" and credits the Honda Ridgeline's "independent rear suspension [that] cushions bumps better than nearly all solid-axle-equipped competitors." Cars.com similarly raves about the "comfortable ride" and "precise handling" that are the trademarks of this 2009 Honda. The only major complaints in this category come from ConsumerGuide reviewers, who point out "a fair amount of body lean and noseplow in fast turns," but the fact that the Ridgeline's "braking is strong and sure" helps keep things in check.

                            Conclusion:

                            Opting for V-6 power doesn't bring much better fuel economy, but it's nice to see that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline's unibody layout pays off on twisty roads.



                            COMFORT AND QUALITY | 8 out of 10


                            Expert Quotes:

                            Headroom is six-footer adequate with RTL's available sunroof
                            ConsumerGuide
                            Cabin provides sedan-like comfort
                            Edmunds
                            Plastics inside are way too hard
                            Automobile Magazine

                            The interior of the 2009 Honda Ridgeline earns praise for its spacious seating arrangements, but reviews read by TheCarConnection.com are also quite critical of the surprisingly low materials quality in some areas. Furthermore, despite the fact that this 2009 Honda sports a pickup bed in the back, its external cargo capacity is somewhat limited by the bed's small dimensions.
                            Passengers riding inside the Honda Ridgeline's cabin won't find much to complain about, especially if they're accustomed to riding in other mid-size pickups. ConsumerGuide reports that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline's "headroom is six-footer adequate with RTL's available sunroof" and "ample otherwise," while there is also "fine legroom" below waist level. Cars.com also comments that drivers are generally able to hop in "and get comfy right away," which isn't surprising considering "there's plenty of room for drivers of most sizes and shapes, and passengers should have room to stretch regardless of whether they're riding up front or out back." Edmunds reviewers agree, noting that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline "provides sedan-like comfort." In terms of overall seating capacity, the Honda Ridgeline is belted for five passengers, with ConsumerGuide measuring "good rear-seat room for two adults" and "three if necessary."
                            Given the limited dimensions that they have to work with, it's clear that Honda's designers favor passenger room over cargo room. However, that doesn't mean the 2009 Honda Ridgeline is without nifty little storage maximization techniques. On the contrary, Cars.com states that the Honda Ridgeline features a "lockable in-bed trunk (8.5-cubic-foot capacity)," and ConsumerGuide says it offers "enough [space] for three regular golf bags." Automobile Magazine adds that "the trunk is pretty huge," but sadly "there is no way to stuff long objects, like a couple of 2x4s, into the bed and close the tailgate." ConsumerGuide also notes that, even with the Honda Ridgeline's tailgate dropped, "floor length is just 6.5 ft, and rivals offer long-box options." Fortunately, interior storage is more than adequate, as ConsumerGuide reports the "useful in-cab cargo space beneath [the] rear seat becomes generous with the cushions flipped up."
                            Honda typically enjoys a reputation for bulletproof quality, although that may extend more to the engineering side than the materials side. However, the 2009 Honda Ridgeline suffers from a few materials miscues, as Automobile Magazine reports that the "plastics inside are way too hard, and the substantial panel gaps around the dash pad and instrument panel aren't impressive." ConsumerGuide agrees that the "overuse of hard plastic trim disappoints," but as expected, "assembly quality [is] mostly top notch." Cars.com tries to find a tactful way to criticize the materials by noting that "Honda wouldn't be hurting anyone's feelings with a few more padded surfaces—not to mention leather upholstery that jumped up a grade or two."
                            While this 2009 Honda pickup doesn't generate the kind of fuel economy you might expect from a crossover-based pickup, it does enjoy one of the other major benefits of unibody construction: reduced cabin noise. ConsumerGuide feels that overall cabin noise levels are "impressive for a pickup," with this 2009 Honda's V-6 rising "only to a classy growl at full throttle" and road noise that is "no worse than in most cars."

                            Conclusion:

                            The 2009 Honda Ridgeline's interior leaves a little to be desired, but you'll find plenty of passenger space.

                            SAFETY | 10 out of 10


                            Expert Quotes:

                            Good, frontal offset impact; Good, side impact; Top Safety Pick
                            IIHS
                            Five stars, front impacts; five stars, side impacts
                            NHTSA
                            New front seat active head restraints
                            Motor Trend

                            Honda continues its tradition of exceptionally safe vehicles with the 2009 Honda Ridgeline, a pickup that earns perfect crash-test scores and a 2009 Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS.
                            In the highly visible and easily comparable world of crash-test ratings, few vehicles manage to earn perfect scores in all categories from both of the major testing authorities. However, that is exactly what Honda manages to do with the 2009 Honda Ridgeline, which kicks things off with perfect five-star safety ratings in both of NHTSA's front impact tests, as well as both side impact categories. In the more demanding IIHS tests, the Honda Ridgeline once again earns the highest possible rating, Good, in both the frontal offset and side impact categories. In addition, this 2009 Honda pickup takes home a 2009 Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS, which credits the Honda Ridgeline's "good performance in front, side, and rear tests and standard electronic stability control" as the primary reasons for the award.
                            Aside from its exemplary crash-test ratings, TheCarConnection.com's research reveals the 2009 Honda Ridgeline offers a lengthy list of safety features that lead Cars.com reviewers to christen the Honda Ridgeline as "extremely safety-conscious." Motor Trend notes that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline now offers a set of "new front seat active head restraints that will instantly snap forward to reduce excessive head recoil from a rearend collision." Meanwhile, Cars.com reviewers point out that "Honda's forward-thinking on safety technology is evident throughout the Ridgeline, and it's standard in all trim lines." Some of this 2009 Honda's standard safety features include "side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, electronic brake distribution," and an "electronic stability system with traction control," according to Cars.com.
                            The only serious safety criticism of the Honda Ridgeline concerns driver visibility, which is somewhat impeded in certain directions. ConsumerGuide reviewers report that "the rear-roof design hinders over-the-shoulder vision," while the "thick roof pillars are an obstruction to visibility all around, with [the] view directly aft especially compromised." Fortunately, the 2009 Honda Ridgeline can be equipped with a rearview camera to help mitigate some of those visibility problems.

                            Conclusion:

                            The big, sturdy 2009 Honda Ridgeline delivers in nearly every regard on the safety front.


                            FEATURES | 9 out of 10


                            Expert Quotes:

                            All Ridgeline audio systems are now MP3/WMA capable
                            Car and Driver
                            features...something that's not standard on most so-called entry-level trucks, a power sliding rear window
                            Cars.com
                            New for 2009 is the coupling of a backup camera with the nav system
                            Motor Trend

                            The 2009 Honda Ridgeline isn't cheap for a truck, but you will get a lot of desirable features for your money. TheCarConnection.com's research and driving experiences with the Honda Ridgeline show that Honda's model-year improvements are particularly noticeable in terms of available standard and optional features.
                            The latest and greatest version of the Honda Ridgeline offers a few more standard features than could be found on previous iterations of this 2009 Honda pickup. Car and Driver notes that "all Ridgeline audio systems are now MP3/WMA capable, and all but the entry RT model gain auxiliary-input jacks." Cars.com points out that this is one of "the most [welcome] changes" to the Honda Ridgeline, which in base RT form comes with a "trip computer...tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and something that's not standard on most so-called entry-level trucks, a power sliding rear window." TheCarConnection.com's editors find that stepping up to the mid-level 2009 Honda Ridgeline RTS trim will get you nicer wheels and door handles, as well as an upgraded 160-watt sound system. For those who want only the best, Cars.com states that the Honda Ridgeline RTL brings "leather upholstery, heated front seats and a power moonroof," as well as "satellite radio, a Homelink universal garage door opener and a 115-volt power outlet."
                            In addition to the standard features found on the various trims of this 2009 Honda, a number of optional features and accessories are available to consumers. Car and Driver reports that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline RTL "can now be optioned with 18-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, and power lumbar support." Motor Trend reviewers add that the 2009 Honda Ridgeline offers a "backup camera with the nav system option," while Cars.com notes that, "in typical Honda fashion, the 2009 Ridgeline isn't available with any packages per se." However, individual accessories can be added on to the Honda Ridgeline, including a "$225 full-size spare tire that replaces the standard spare."

                            Conclusion:

                            Individual options are available, but the 2009 Honda Ridgeline lineup comes well equipped enough in its standard trims to keep most buyers satisfied.

                              Scratch that: Next generation Honda Ridgeline not coming in 2011







                              A little confusion travels quickly. As long ago as last year and as recently as last week's Chicago Auto Show, the bed-happy gents at PickupTrucks.com were told that a new Honda Ridgeline would be arriving sometime in 2011. Now the guys have been told by Honda, "That's not the case." The proper information: "there will be no significant change to the Ridgeline through the 2011 model year."


                              That leaves the Honda pickup to soldier on through a 50-percent decline in sales and EPA numbers on the wrong side of frugality for at least another two years. And with a five-year-old design. Perhaps Honda wants to see how the truck market (and the auto market in general) does in the near term before it decides what the next Ridgeline should be. Or perhaps the company wants to get its core models in order, like those hybrids, before it makes another play at a small segment. We only have guesses – but there are certainly people out there who'd rather have a new Ridgeline.

                                Honda's first truck tops in reliability


                                By ANN M. JOB


                                (AP)
                                Guess which pickup truck has the top reliability rating of any consumer truck sold in the United States. Two hints: It's built by a company that's known for fuel-efficient car, and it's not one of the best-selling trucks in the country.

                                The answer: The Honda Ridgeline.

                                Introduced in spring 2005 as Honda's first pickup, the Ridgeline isn't a brawny brute capable of towing 8,500 pounds and climbing over sizable rocks off road.
                                Rather, the Ridgeline is a four-door, five-passenger, four-wheel drive, mid-size truck that's agile for everyday driving and comfortable for outdoor getaways on less-aggressive off-road terrain. Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.
                                And the Ridgeline remains the only truck with some innovative features, such as a lockable trunk in the floor of its pickup bed and a tailgate that can flip down the usual way or swing out, like a car door, for easier access to the bed. The Ridgeline also has car-like unibody construction to help provide a smooth ride.
                                Unlike many other trucks, there's no bargain-basement version of Ridgeline, which helps to explain the lagging sales.
                                The well-equipped Ridgeline has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, with destination charge, of $29,160. This includes a V-6, five-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive and compares with $26,840 for a V-6-powered, 2010 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SE with four-wheel drive and automatic transmission.
                                A 2010 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab with four doors, V-6, four-wheel drive and automatic transmission has a starting retail price of $27,550.
                                The Frontier and Tacoma have body-on-frame construction typical of trucks. They also are offered in lower-priced versions that have less equipment. For example, a 2010 Tacoma with regular cab with only front seats, four-cylinder engine and manual transmission starts at $16,145.
                                Clearly, Honda officials had something different in mind for the crew cab-only Ridgeline, and it was mostly the owners of Honda cars like the Accord and Civic who also have pickups parked in the driveways.
                                In 2005, Honda officials estimated about 18 percent of the millions of Honda owners in America were in this category, and they projected annual Ridgeline sales of 50,000. Alas, Ridgeline hasn't caught on, despite the stellar reliability rating of Consumer Reports, where the Ridgeline is a recommended buy and reliability is "better than average."
                                Even the Tacoma, another recommended buy, doesn't have that reliability rating. Neither do top-selling trucks like the full-size Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado.
                                The test Ridgeline, a top RTL model with navigation system and voice recognition, leather-trimmed seats, satellite radio, moonroof and alloy wheels, would never be confused with a truck taking guys to a construction site.
                                The interior was spacious, front and back, and excellent in fit and finish. Controls were large and easy to understand and doors closed solidly.
                                I marveled at how wide the Ridgeline interior is. My front passenger and I had wide seats and good-sized center console with lots of storage between us. I especially appreciated the deep center storage that could swallow my purse and keep it invisible under a closed cover.
                                Front-seat headroom of 40.7 inches in Ridgelines with no moonroof is more than the 40.1 inches in a Tacoma Double Cab and the 40 inches in a Frontier Crew Cab. The test Ridgeline with the power-operated moonroof had 38.7 inches of headroom up front, and it was still roomy for me and a 6-foot passenger.
                                Back-seat headroom in the Ridgeline totals 36.4 inches, which is less than the Tacoma's 38.5 inches and the 38.7 inches in the Frontier.
                                But shoulder room of 62.6 inches in the Ridgeline back seat is noteworthy. The Frontier only has 58.3 inches of rear-seat shoulder room, while the Tacoma has 59.3 inches.
                                Yet from the outside, the Ridgeline doesn't appear as big as it is. The Ridgeline is Honda's longest vehicle, more than 17 feet long from bumper to bumper. This is longer than even the Honda Odyssey minivan.
                                But drivers don't feel that they're wheeling around in a big, wallow-y vehicle. Rather, the Ridgeline moves amid city traffic easily, and there's no need to worry about crowding the next lane or sticking out in the grocery parking lot.
                                There is a sizable turning circle, however, of 42.6 feet, and the test Ridgeline bounced a bit over choppy pavement. Road noise can be loud on rough road surfaces. I didn't notice much wind noise.
                                There's one engine for the Ridgeline _ a 250-horsepower, 3.5-liter, single overhead cam V-6. It's the same V-6 used in the Honda Pilot sport utility vehicle and has strong, confident sounds. With torque peaking at 247 foot-pounds at 4,700 rpm, this V-6 moves the more than 4,500-pound Ridgeline capably, even if there's not instant get-up-and-go when the accelerator pedal is pressed.
                                I was impressed with how smoothly the automatic transmission channeled the engine power. Passengers didn't notice shift points.
                                Too bad, though, that the Ridgeline doesn't come with Honda's notorious fuel-sipping qualities. Instead, the Ridgeline's federal government fuel mileage ratings of 15 miles per gallon in the city and 20 mpg on the highway are about middle of the range for 2010 pickup trucks. A Tacoma with V-6 and four-wheel drive is rated at 17/21 mpg.
                                The 5-foot-long Ridgeline bed is made of composite and has no wheel arches intruding.
                                All safety equipment, including curtain air bags, traction control and electronic stability control, is standard.
