I don't really care that people buy them... people are stupid... but what really annoys me is when people refer to the Ridgeline or the Avalanche as TRUCKS!
They are NOT trucks, they are just ugly SUVs. But the guys that buy them tend to get really pissed when you point this out to them, so use caution.

Yeah, but scroll down to the sales numbers. They sell by the thousands in the U.S., the few numbers that are listed for Canada barely get over 400.

I guess Americans have a deeper appreciation for ugly things.

Any truck with "Black Cherry Pearl" as a color choice isn't a truck at all...

Im not a brand loyal person (even though I do brag about the 150) but I personally think, that is the ugliest truck wanna-be vehicle ever placed in production. Who is the designer behind that thing.

So basically what your saying is that they should just start over!

Technically, what are Avalanches, Ridgelines, and Explorer SportTrac's called? Crossovers?
