Heh. Plant overutilization. How often does _that_ happen. I'll bet Chrysler sorely wishes they had Honda's troubles.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 8:50AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/

come on, its a S I T E.

if you are doing this for free, thats one thing but if you get paid, then show a little pride. Spell check doesn't correct homonyms, there has to be some basic intelligence behind the keyboard.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 8:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
Chris is so busy interjecting his personal opinion into a news story that he can't be bothered with small details like spelling errors. The real story to Chris is that the Ridgeline styling is a "visual train wreck." This is nothing but a flame looking for some "I love the Ridgeline," or "It's not a real truck!" responses. That's modern internet journalism folks.......when there isn't anything to write about, create something! Hey Chris, maybe you can work for the New York Times!]]>Mar 3rd 2008 9:04AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
It sounds like you guys despise Autoblog! If so then go elsewhere.

I mean, yeah he should have used the correct word but it's not worth writing about.

Maybe you are both Ridgeline owners. LOL

Hope I spelled everything correctly or else the f@$king spelling police will be after me.

Try to remember that this is a blog, and if we think the Ridgeline is ugly, we're more than within our rights to let you know. We give you the comments section to argue with us free of charge, so that way everybody gets the chance to chime in. ]]>Mar 3rd 2008 9:22AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
"Stewart" is a proper name. It therefore requires a capital letter. Please use proper spelling in your own screen name before criticizing other people for their spelling.

Sincerely,
thousands of readers you just annoyed]]>Mar 3rd 2008 9:58AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/Mar 3rd 2008 10:19AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/2 points:
1) I dont get paid for writing on here so I can fall back on the 'amateur' title.
2) a) I can go the route that it is a screen name and can use any manner of letters, numbers, and symbols.
OR b) I can put it back on you that if you are going to criticize me, the look to your own. Cheez Whiz is a proper name for a product produced by Kraft Foods (which is how Kraft represents themselves).]]>Mar 3rd 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
I think the Ridgeline is great design, but that because I like the Avalanche.. ;-)

I suspect ti's the type of person that has this for a ride, also has his hair combed accross his head to hide the baldness, or maybe never bothers to fix them up much in the morning]]>Mar 3rd 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/Mar 3rd 2008 10:52AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
I like the Ridgeline and my hair is thinning. If that doesn't prove Honda made a mistake, I don't know what does.

Then again, I don't have comb-over, but I'm not fond of the Ridgline's grill either (which kind of resembles one), so the analogy may still be intact.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
Ridgeline must not be a train wreck of design when it exceeded the propose amount of sales in it's first year of production. Honda sold over the 50K proposed sales amount in it's first 12 months of sales.

Don't hate!]]>Mar 3rd 2008 10:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/
Wait, we won't be able to actually afford anything imported into the country, which is almost everything we buy, great.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/honda-shifts-ridgeline-production-from-canada-t-alabama/New headlights also.
and a real transmission shifter, how do you tow if you can't get 4th gear?

When these jobs went to Canada in the first place, did that prove Canada was a third-world country? No. It proved that Canada had a work force capable of doing good work in a complicated, dynamic environment, and that exchange rates favored their bit of soil over ours.

Now that the jobs are coming back, what does that say? It says that blue-collar workers in Alabama--yes, Alabama!--are just as smart and efficient as those in Canada. And if the exchange rate favors them, it's worthwhile to uproot your assembly lines and move them several thousand miles south, just as it did to move them north a few years back.

And I think I'm seeing something else at work here:

Does it sting some of you folks to realize that people who don't necessarily share your views on health care and the death penalty can still be as intelligent and hardworking as those who do?

Maybe your opinions don't confer the automatic superiority you thought they did. ]]>Mar 3rd 2008 11:46AM
