Hi, Just got back from the local woolies where i saw a couple of dual cab Honda's that i have never seen before. Asked the yanks who were driving them what the scoop was and was told they are "testing" for possible future imports.
It was the new Honda Ridgeline and they were on their way out to Kakadu etc.

When I spied this vehicle a few weeks ago, I called my local Honda dealer.

"No, it won't be coming out here," he told me. Hope he's wrong.

I'd buy one in a flash. I have had a Honda soft roader for 7 years now, and have had no trouble with it.

It would do what I want it to do, no problems.

I reckon one of those would look good wrapped around my body, like what I mean is............. like me driving it!

Didn't see anything there about it even being a soft roader. 2wd only?

Good grief! Didn't look in Braking and Traction. But yes you are right...do need my glasses upgraded lol

Still, the truck looks like a softroader like our Xtrail. I suppose this is the way things are going. We must hang on to our REAL 4bies as they may become relics of the past, soon.....maybe
