Honda unveils new-look Ridgeline

DETROIT — The new Honda Ridgeline is a truck that looks like a truck, which some would say is a big departure for the model. It was introduced on Monday amid soaring demand for pickup trucks. “Let me be clear here: This is a real truck with payload and hauling capabilities that rival the top competitors in the midsize-pickup segment,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda, speaking from the stage at the North American International Auto Show.
