Honda Promises New Ridgeline Will Look Less Like A Freak Show Anomaly And More Like Real Truck

Honda's deep into a re-make of its anonymous Ridgeline pickup that is expected to look more like a regular pickup as the car company tries to broaden the overlooked vehicle's appeal and boost sales.

The redesign is unlikely to go on sale before late 2015 or early 2016, meaning Honda will have been out of the mid-size pickup market more than a year,after discontinuing the Ridgeline this summer.

The automaker's mum on details, but a dark silhouette on a Honda website shows a vehicle with a shape similar to conventional pickups, rather than having the original truck's buttresses behind the passenger compartment.

Honda built a truck for people that hate trucks, only to find out people that hate truck buy cars.

The Ridgeline did ok at first but Honda abandoned it. Should be going onto a third generation.

Finally! The media is admitting that the Ridgeline "truck" is an ugly freak. How true. Honda has better bring out a handsome looking Asian truck to be successful in the American market.

This silhouette looks great but no way the windshield can be that sleek.
