I'm going off the facts, I'm not throwing some subjective mockery in there(well the Ridgeline isn't a real truck, it has a V6 and looks kinda funny, I don't like it.... so don't compare it to my car). The Ridgeline is an excellent alternative if you just use your truck for day to day driving and need something more fuel efficient, and for people that aren't insecure about not having a BOF RWD full-size truck.
-The Ridgeline isn't FWD(though it obviously has a transversely mounted engine). It's full-time AWD.

I'm not going to get into that because arguing over 2 cars is pretty stupid. Unless of course, you are arguing to prove you are right... then, of course, it is totally valid (no sarcasm, I'm stubborn too). Anyway, test drove two Camaros and was EHH about it. Not bad, not great, just EHH... IMO. I could get used to it and learn to love it. As I'm walking to discuss paperwork I see a 2010 Mercedes CL300 for sale, 20K Miles, Black, Loaded. Test drove it and uhh, got to have one. So.. I'm going to the Mercedes dealer tomorrow to see if I can get a deal on one. The night manager at the Chevy place was a total douche and didn't know how to do business making up lies and such. I have heard the night guy was like that from another person but oh well. Maybe the day manager will give me a call. Still, if the Mercedes doesn't work, Camaro it is.
