In Sixxxer's defense, this is what Toyota and Honda were producing at the time GM was producing the Vega:








At the Corolla Toyota and Accord Honda was producing during the X cars:







And the Camry Toyota Accord Honda was producing during the Saturn years:






Toyota and Honda have been kicking Ford, GM, and Chrysler's ass for decades.

AE86 was a bad bitch in its day and still is

No Buick Skylark? The list is flawed.

Can I list more than 10?

during the 80's
Corolla, Tercel Accord and Civic...were very reliable...as long as you got a manual transmission.
Maxima was iffy at times (fueling...transmission)
Nissan had the Stanza (Name changed to Altima during a the 90's rediesign. Stanza was ok.
Sentra...not exactly golden and basically a shitbox. 91 redesign major improvement
Mitsubishi was garbage half the time (ever see a mitsu carb last more than 80k?
MX-6 was a non starter until 88 when they pProbes and 626 and MX-6 outa flatrock. The 12 valve 2.2 was decent. Power steering pumps were not.

It's more car than truck. Gas mileage is the suck, which is pretty truck-ish...

I love my Ridgeline, and it goes off-roading (fire roads on a ranch, sometimes a bit rough but not challenging) all the time. It literally floats over bumps, dips, etc. - 4 wheel IRS FTW!

Are you on the Ridgeline forum?

Ridgeline ('08 RTL - Nimbus Grey) is the best truck I've ever owned... My dad, who's owned dozens of trucks, says the same about his '06 RTS...

Funny thing is... it's not much of a truck from a lot of standpoints, but I wouldn't give mine up for anything.
