Honda Bags A Winner With Ridgeline

It's new. It's sleek. It's sexy. It's the safest truck around. It's a Honda?

That's right. The new Honda Ridgeline is not only one of the hottest new trucks around but it's also the safest according to the NHTSA.

Honda: "The 2006 Honda Ridgeline has earned a 5-Star safety rating for both frontal and side impact crash test performance from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), American Honda Motor Co., announced today. The Ridgeline, Honda's first truck,
is the first ever 4-door pickup to earn the government's highest crash test safety rating."

The Ridgeline features a 24 Valve SOHC (Single Over Head Cam) VTEC V6 engine with Honda's VTM-4 (Variable Torque Managment) 4 wheel drive system meaning this ain't no sissy truck. This is a truck meant to take you where you wanna go and get you back before the wife knows you were gone.

The Ridgeline is also customizable to give you options, options, and more options. 17" Alloy wheels, moon-roof, Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, mirror mounted electronic compass, heated side mirrors, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, power lumbar support, and XM Satellite radio all add up to one thing, class.

Starting at around $27,700 for the RT model, this is one awesome truck.
