Today is a day of firsts for Honda. Their first-ever pickup truck, the Ridgeline, has scored the U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) first-ever five star safety rating for a four-door pickup truck.
This is due to the Ridgeline’s full frame body structure (read: unibody), which Honda says “is designed to protect its occupants while reducing the effect of crash energy on opposing vehicles for improved compatibility with smaller vehicles.”
All Ridgelines feature dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, driver and front passenger side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic brake assist.
The Ridgeline is priced from $34,800 Cdn.

Mark and I are working on a "cars we want" and "cars we should get rid of" post.
In the meantime; however, think of what cars you'd like to have on sale in Canada, and comment here.
