The New 2011 Ford Ranger – Will Make You Drool

At the recent car show in Geneva SZ Ford Motor Company showed off a redesigned Ford Ranger that will cause you to take a second look. With four full doors and diesel motor in the European version. We don’t know for sure if it is coming state side yet but a rumor from a reliable source says it should hit US showrooms in the 2011 Ford lineup.
When talking with dealership personel at a Cincinnati Ford Dealer they say they have not heard of the new arrival coming in but then again OEM’s have been known to keep secrets from their dealers. The ranger has not had any major redesign since 1993 so it will be a delight to see a new skin on this vehicle.

It may cause Ford to lose some of the F-150 market share when customers tha tdo not require a truck but just want one step down in size due to the enhancements that should become available in this new truck.

2011 Honda Ridgeline

The changes and upgrades to the 2009 Honda Ridgeline have been revealed a little early thanks to the web.

On the outside the new Ridgeline gets a new grille that is not unlike the Pilot's, new front bumper and lights and new tailights. The revisions to the interior include a revised HVAC, steering wheel and the addition of Bluetooth and a 115-volt outlet. The 3.5L V6 gets a very small bump in power and now puts out 250 horsepower and 247 lb-ft. of torque. The 5-speed automatic has also been revised.

The revised and still not pretty Ridgeline will be in showrooms this September.
