[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 548316, member: 56140"] Darin, You have a point. Ultimatly, resale value is something to consider but in my opinion is nothing but misleading. You said something very interesting. The Matrix and the Vibe are identical. The Matrix will hold the resale better because it is a Toyota, NOT because it will be more reliable. IMO, resale value is a perception. You think you are getting more out of that vehicle when you sell it. People like me don't sell thier cars after a few years. I like to drive them 10 years or so with well over 100,000 miles. Resale value doesn't mean a thing. People forget that the Ridgeline is fr the Accord wner that wants an "Accord Sport Trac". They haul a bike, a little lumber, or something else that is small and are glad they got a pick-up. Honda is bragging up the Ridgeline to make it sound more credible then it is. Anyone can call it what they want, the Ridgeline is still a Honda Pilot that is based off the same platform as the Oddyssey. Put a frame under it, weld cross supports, cut the back off, and throw a driveshaft to a rear differential. You might have a truck, but it is still a front wheel drive Pilot based off an Oddyssey. We know how recomended a FWD vehicle is for towing....avoid it at all costs. The front end just isn't designed to handle the stresses of towing. Tom [/QUOTE]
