When you see the distinctive form of a Honda Ridgeline around town in Denver, Colorado, the truck is unmistakeable. It’s hard to miss, even if initially noticed only peripherally. Once aware I often thereafter find myself following the Ridgeline along with my eyes as it continues — watching it progress down the street or highway. Somehow this stylishly functional truck is intriguing. In its class the Honda Ridgeline is considered a mid-size vehicle, though it packs a lot of punch.
