Yeah expensive german cars arent selling

 

[Omnis]

The 350Z isn't ugly but the rest of them are. And the only Japanese pick-up anyone should even think about buying are the ones from Toyota, Honda and Nissan suck when it comes to making them.

How credible.

 

[Joey D]

To get this back on topic I would like to know how in God's name is someone supposed to use that nav system? Those buttons look very akward sitting on that little ledge beneith the screen. I think there would be serious issues with that.

How credible.

I've actaully driven the Titan and Tundra...the Tundra is worlds better then it, the Tundra is even better then the Silverado and the Ram. I think the Tundra is one of the best trucks on the market and would not hesitate driving one. The Ridgeline isn't even a real truck, so Honda can't design a truck...trucks means there is a fram and the rear wheels power it.

 

[Z32]

for those dont like the rear end, chekc out he vid on msn. the pic in this thread took a bad angle so its not really bubbly at all

 

[GT4_Rule]

BX I agree with you on the nav - I got into a M45 which had that during the auto show and man, that was awkward. Pointing skywards instead of facing the driver, its useful

The Ridgeline is based on a truck frame but its design is just plain its not designed as a real truck, and the shape is just a cheap rip-off of a Chevy Avalanche!

 

[a6m5]

How credible.

I agree, Omnis. Consumers and auto fans in general thinks Nissan makes good looking cars. IMO, Nissan sells too much on looks, at least in the North American market. On the Toyota trucks being the only good trucks from Japan, I think that's debatable as well. Trucks from other Japanese makes are winning awards for "Truck of the Year", etc. Actually, I recall seeing Nissan trucks winning more awards than the Toyota trucks recently. While I too like Toyota trucks better(Tacoma crewcab ), I sense a very strong biase here.....

 

[YSSMAN]

Speaking as a part time truck driver, most of the Japanese truck models are a joke. Simply put, they are too "soft" for true American truck status, and thus they have recieved a reputation of a weak-mans truck. Of course, Toyota and Nissan are indeed out to change that, but Honda falls directly into that category.

I'd say the Nissan Titan is the only Japanese truck to come anywhere near an F150 or Silverado in terms of capability, size, and power... But build quality has been so horrible on the truck, many people have stayed away. The Tundra has always been too soft, and although Toyota says they are changing it all for 2007, I'm still skeptical of the potential of the truck.

[RANT] About the Honda Ridgeline... If Honda was any deeper in the pockets of Motor Trend and so many other American Automotive Magazines, they might catch a whiff of something I care not to talk about... If I wanted to buy a minivan with a truckbed, well... I'd just buy a damn truck. Considering that the Ridgeline is indeed based of the same platform that underpins the Pilot and Odyssey, uses the same V6, 5-speed auto, and AWD-system, why bother? The only reason why the truck won any awards simply is because there werent any good trucks to compare it to for 2005... The Mercedes ML? The Land Rover Ranger Rover Sport? The Hyundai Tuscon? You call that competition?

Considering that the truck is so small, it also really only has to compete with the Chevrolet Colorado/ GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and Ford Ranger (still the same truck from the early '90s!). Of course it wouldnt have any competition there, maybe the Toyota at best...

The Honda Ridgeline was at the right place at the right time, and thus won an award for it. The same can almost be said of the Honda Civic, but that opens up a whole other can of worms best suited for the cars in general forum.[/RANT]

What is "soft"? Frame they use? Interior material? The ride?

This is kind of funny to me, because these tough American truck drivers are always breaking and blowing something on the truck, and fixing and replacing stuff. Arms, rods, bearings, hubs, the list goes on. If Japanese trucks has weakman's truck reputation, I think it's because of brand loyalty and size issue(get your mind out of the gutter ), which I see no problems with. Loyalty counts for something to me.

[RANT] About the Honda Ridgeline... If Honda was any deeper in the pockets of Motor Trend and so many other American Automotive Magazines, they might catch a whiff of something I care not to talk about...

I always wonder about this as well. Especially Car & Driver. But it's a serious accusation to make, and I doubt you have any proof to support your case. Is Honda giving away free travels, buying them homes, setting up pension funds for the auto journalists? I'm not aware of single case of bribery attempt by auto makers to car magazines, and while I don't doubt it happens, it's all guesses. Also, Honda make great cars, no doubt about that as far as I'm concerned. If Honda is bribing the media in, pretty much the whole country(maybe the world), where do they get the money, and how come other companies don't try to uncover it?

[RANT] If I wanted to buy a minivan with a truckbed, well... I'd just buy a damn truck.

I'm not gonna argue this point, because I've gone thru it in couple other threads already. I'll just sum it up with, it's a good truck for some people. Not for the truckers, obviously.

...The Ridgeline's weirdness is amazing though...cant see how that truck won so many awards. As I said several posts above, I consider it just a cheap rip-off of Chevy Avalanche. The front isnt too beautiful either...

Matter of opinion, my friend. I think I was weirded out by the design at first too. But I love it now, and while it's not overly popular, it's selling farily well around where I live.

To me, all crewcab pickups look similar, though I think I see where you are coming from(Chevy's rollbars to Honda's contour of the bed). For I don't haul stuff or off-road, I'd love to own a Ridgeline. I just can't afford it.

P.S. Some of you might think, "why do you need a truck then?". For camping and outdoor stuff(shooting ), I need just enough durability and ground clearance.

 

[Joey D]

Honda just needs a few years and they'll have a truck worth while, but its not bad for what it's designed for, it's just not a proper truck.

Although like I said the best Japanese truck is the Tundra, which is better then the Silverado and Ram by far. I was very surprised when I drove it how awesome it was.

What is "soft"? Frame they use? Interior material? The ride?

I use the term soft in sort of a general application. the engines don't produce enough power, the transmissions arent quite as heavy duty, and some of the 4WD attempts by Toyota and Honda are laughable. For most people, a regular Tundra is going to be fine. but if youre towing an 8,000lb trailer with four work buddies and all of their crap, not much is going to be able to beat a Silverado Quad Cab with the Vortec 6000 and the 4L60E.

Of course, updates for both the Silverado and the Tundra are comming by the end of the year. I'll draw better conclutions then, but from my expiriences, the Tundra just cannot do the same ammount of work that a Silverado, Ram, or F150 can tackle.

About Honda "buying" good reviews:

It has been refuted time, and time again in every magazine all across America. I find it interesting how much Motor Trend has fallen to the mighty "H" with their picks for car of the year, as nearly the exact opposite happened over at Car and Driver. Car and Driver HATED the new Civic, sort of calling it an underwhelming success. Their love for Honda has seemed to be fading over the years, but the Accord and Fit still seem to be in their favor.

...I know it is a controvercial accusation to make, but I really don't think Honda deserved either of those awards this year. I personally think car of the year should have gone to either the Pontiac Solstice or the BMW 3-series, and truck of the year to the Ram Mega Cab (I forgot that Motor Trend seperates the trucks from the SUVs), and SUV of the year is fine on the Land Rover LR3 (Discovery).

Although like I said the best Japanese truck is the Tundra, which is better then the Silverado and Ram by far. I was very surprised when I drove it how awesome it was.

I actually find the Tundra having the same interior quality as the Titan. But, and this is undeniable, the Titan is a much better performer in what trucks are supposed to do--haul and tow ****. I'd probably pick either one if I was unbasied but since I am biased I'd choose the Titan followed very closely by Toyota. And since I drove Ridgelines everyday for 4 months let me be the first to tell you that it is a huge POS. It's uncomfortable, slow, horrid turning radius, you can't park it, you can't tow anything with it, it still only has a V6, and it's payload capacity is quite dismal. I'd rather drive a Dodge Ram than a Ridgeline and everyone here knows how much I dislike DC products minus Mercs. Pickup trucks are supposed to be for utility and hauling, not for cocking about.

 

[GT4_Rule]

Why did you have to drive the Ridgeline for 4 months? (out of curiousity)

Honda has never made V8s for road cars, have they...? V6 RL costing $48,000 CDN = sort of rediculous.

From Jan. to April I worked in the inventory dept. of a local Honda dealer. The best vehicles I drove were the 4dr Accord (6spd especially) and the Odessey believe it or not. I wasn't impressed with the new S2000...it looks good but it didn't feel fast. Hell, the 6spd V6 Accord felt almost as fast as a Maxima 6spd--and it's quite fast for such a large car.

Toyota and Nissan trucks cover just the entry level of fullsize, that's true. I just did a brief comparison(sorry I'm leaving) to the horsepower and torque, I don't think they are underpowered. Comparing entry level trucks like the Tundra and Titans to heavier duty truck's I think is kinda pointless though.

Darn, I gotta go. I'll be back later. Sorry!

Wait, he said the Titan is underpowered? It can tow 9000lbs (or more?) that is more than GM and Dodge now isn't it? The Hemi isn't exactly a towing machine--not to mention Ford maybe be able to tow 9000lbs+ but I'd put it's interior build quality slightly behind Toyota and Nissan, while the exterior is quite good on the Ford considering it's cheaper--sort of. Which brings me to my 3rd truck of choice--Ford F250 Super Duty King Ranch. You talk about a nice truck interior...the leather is soooooooo good.

I use the term soft in sort of a general application. the engines don't produce enough power, the transmissions arent quite as heavy duty, and some of the 4WD attempts by Toyota and Honda are laughable.

How heavy duty are these trannies, hubs, rotors, if they need repair and replacing all the time? I've read that Toyota doesn't do what they can't do without sacrificing reliability. Could that be the case with Toyota's unwillingness to throw in a heavier duty truck? I'm just thinking outloud here......

4WD by Honda is out of question. If you are off-roader and looking at Honda trucks, you need a new hobby. How are Toyota 4WDs laughable? I've always heard good things about their off-road capabilities.

IFor most people, a regular Tundra is going to be fine. but if youre towing an 8,000lb trailer with four work buddies and all of their crap, not much is going to be able to beat a Silverado Quad Cab with the Vortec 6000 and the 4L60E.

Engine - horsepower - torque
Ford 5.4 Triton - 300hp@5000rpm - 365lbs@3750rpm
Dodge 5.7 HEMI V-8 - 345hp@5400rpm - 375lbs@4200rpm
GMC Vortec 6000 - 300hp@4400rpm - 360lbs@4000rpm
Nissan Endurance 5.6 - 305hp@4900rpm - 379lbs@3600rpm
Toyota(don't know what it's called) 4.7L - 271@5400 - 313lbs@3400rpm
You are right about the Toyota V-8, but as JCE3000GT noted, Nissan's V-8 looks like it's ready to compete.

It's one thing to agree/disagree with the choices, but to say Honda is bribing car magazines to get better press is another. As I admitted before, I suspected Honda of same thing, until I came aware of: 1)How Honda really do make great cars. 2)It's impossible to bribe most of the car reviewers in the country and not get caught. CIA couldn't accomplish that, let alone Honda.

 

[GT4_Rule]

OK this is starting to turn ugly. No car company will and have bribed a car mag, or at least I hope not, so a truthful, family-owned and run business like Honda will not. Soichiro Honda's spirits will not allow such a dirty thing to happen, and Ive just read a book about him; hes one strong, determined man. A company still truthful to the founder's wills will not do such a thing called bribing. No way.

I would guess it happens here and there. Just don't agree with the bribery being the key to Honda's success with the media. I have never heard of anybody at magazines like Car & Driver, Road & Track, etc being busted for accepting a form of bribes from auto makers. Only time I read something like that is in the "letters to the editor" section, where some grumpy GM fans resembling YSSMAN or BlazinXtreme(j/k ) starts complaining about how Honda ads are all over their magazine and that's why Honda did so well in the Civic vs. Cavalier comparo.

Road & Track is just a BMW whore...no wait, all american car mags are BMW whores.

Id say Honda makes the best overall japanses cars. They make classy more upscale cars near bmw/audi quality and are a pleasure to drive. I think they are much better than lexus and infiniti as honda isnt trying to copy the germans.
