At least this is what Motor Trend magazine claimed last week. When Honda released a message on it's blog about the rumours of the demise of it's Ridgeline truck, they wrote " the Ridgeline has a significant role in the Honda range and it is expected that it will be so in the foreseeable future." It seems that the "foreseeable future" stops in September 2014, according to a recent report from Ward's Auto. They predict that Honda will stop production of the Ridgeline in September 2014, with a new model launched in 2016, after a two year hiatus. The Honda Ridgeline, built in Alabama, was supposed to remain in production until the spring of 2016, when a new generation would take over. It is now expected that the new Ridgeline will enter production in the second quarter of 2016. Honda has not returned requests for clarification of the claims made by the famous American magazine.
