They're only a century behind the times

Hasn't Honda heard of the pickup truck? Honda makes a great product, but gimmicks like "dog friendly car" make me groan, as they show exactly how little they expect their customers to think. One of my favorites was when my brother in law bought a CR-V, and I was told how it was so neat that the vehicle included a table for picknicking.

As if Henry Ford didn't include that on every Model T pickup, too.

  5. :^) If all you need is a true half ton, the Ridgeline's probably not all bad. Want to beat on it? Maybe you'd better choose something else....

    ...but the real point was that, while Honda does have a dog friendly vehicle (the Ridgeline), they're putting gimmicks on something else and claiming that as their dog friendly vehicle. How strange.
