Although nothing else in their lineup compares to the Ridgeline for fuglyness (heck, it's worse than the original Chevy Avalanche, although not quite in the category of the Aztek or Fiat Multipla), not even the Element. Honda also doesn't like more cylinders, e.g. even Toyota is sticking a V-6 in their cute-ute, Acura doesn't have any V-6's, and the Ridgeline is V-6 only. Toyota will soon become the world's largest car maker. If they can get their styling act together, they'll be really really scary...to their competitors. (I'm not a Toyota fan, either; I've got an old but trusty Nissan and a new but so far very good Mazda.) --Tony

In cars, the Euros do some very nice stuff (especially at the high end, with exceptions such as the Porsche Cayenne), but they also do some of the ugliest cars in the world, such as the Multipla. --Tony

Because no one would "find" themselves in Finland (except perhaps for the 2 months and three weeks when the sun is above the horizon...). jb4 "Every Repbulican who wants to defend Bush on [the expansion of Presidential powers], should be forced to say, 'I wouldn't hesitate to see President Hillary Rodham Clinton have the same authority'." &mdash an unidentified letter writer to Newsweek on the expansion of executive powers under the Bush administration
