Cool cars from the Detroit Auto Show

The new Honda Ridgeline looks much more like a traditional pickup truck than the last-generation model. The reason is simple. The biggest factor that kept buyers away from the last Ridgeline was its oddball styling. It's still not your typical truck, though. Its fundamental engineering is unibody, like a car, not body-on-frame, like other trucks. The advantages of that are more interior room and the ability to have things like a lockable, water-tight storage bin in the floor of the bed. That popular feature is carried over from the older version.
