I agree, cars that can tow, haul and retain the desirable qualities of a car are superior to gigantic, V6-only trucks like the Ridgeline. Nearly every review of the Ridgeline I've read has noted V8-like fuel consumption. What's the point then? Why not just get a Tundra or another real truck?
I think with fuel prices going up and the mass exodus from SUVs there's a market for cars like the Australian Utes in the US. People who love cars but want to run to Lowe's every once in awhile or haul something in the back. All without the stinging fuel bills and driving dynamics penalty.
GM can't sell the upcoming Ute SS here soon enough.
