Honda Ridgeline
Still original, still practical, Honda’s pickup, the Ridgeline, is content to head into 2011 without any big changes. Where this pickup is most surprising is in the back. By adopting an independent rear suspension, the engineers managed to make enough room to create a huge locking waterproof storage trunk under the bed floor. Furthermore, the tailgate opens downward or on hinges located on the left thanks to an ingeniously simple mechanism.
