Default Test drove the new Ridgeline

Dropped by the Honda dealership to pick up some parts for a car im working on and decided to check out the Ridgeline. As comfort and cool gadgets go it gets a 9 out of 10 from me. the locking in-bed trunk is sweet, it doubles as a cooler and you could easily fit like four midgets in there. It sV6 is a bit on the weak side, 3.5 litre SOHC VTEC V6 that puts down around 250hp. Slow from a launch but rides like a car. All the cool stuff in theside makes up for the lack of power though. Good times. Not too sure about spending $32k on a V6 though...

What is the gas mileage on that thing anyway? Even it being a Honda with a V6, I dont its anything special compared to everyone elses truck.
the milage is around the 20mi/gal area. and as to no one wanting one the engine is really a set back. why spend 30k+ on a v6 pickup when you can buy an S2000 for the same price? or a decent V8?
