Seriously.
My next door neighbor had a Ridgeline when they first came out. (he's since been transferred to Alabama and is in Afghanistan now. Still has the Ridgeline) It rode extremely well, had 4 wheel drive all the time, and was a very pleasant vehicle except for the fact that it lacked power. Well... that and it was ugly as sin. The dash and navigation layout was far better than I have ever seen in a GM truck.
I still hate the Ridgeline.

Avalanche has the Tahoe suspension and rides more like a car. They feel loads different than a truck even though they share a lot of parts.Even with a V8, I don't think it would. The Ridgeline is a smaller vehicle.
How does the Avalanche do so well even though the Silverado/Sierra is available in a CC? Is it because the ride is different since it's built on a Tahoe platform?
Why don't they just put it out of it's misery and stop sales in the US?
I was actually just thinking the same thing earlier today when I saw one. You'd think the crew cab would have eliminated the need for the Avalanche and yet it still survives. I don't get it.
I was just giving you the obligatory "If it ain't American, it's craaaap!" response.

Never even flinched.
Even though we have a Honda, I would never consider the Ridgeline in its current configuration. If Honda ever gets it right I suspect they will sell a bunch of them. That article was chock full of vague "we are committed" statements though! I'd be surprised if we see a next generation model.

Why buy new when you can restore?
That's what I thought the difference was.Avalanche has the Tahoe suspension and rides more like a car. They feel loads different than a truck even though they share a lot of parts.Even with a V8, I don't think it would. The Ridgeline is a smaller vehicle.

I seem to recall the same before Oldsmobile, Mercury, and Pontiac finally called it a day....
