What exactly is wrong with GM? I mean, as far as getting a vehicle that can actually do something let's compare it to the Honda Ridgeline. If you look on www.fueleconomy.gov, you will see that when comparing the Avalanche to the Ridgeline you get a 5.3L V8 310 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque in the Avalanche, versus a 3.5L V6 with 247 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque in the Ridgeline. The chevy has a much larger cabin, and a slightly larger bed, is rated to tow significantly more; and finally to add insult to injury gets about the same gas mileage. Oh, and the Avalanche can run off of E85, the Honda cannot. E85 effectively cuts petroleum consumption in half, thanks to the fact that it's a mixture of 85% alcohol, and 15% petroleum. The Avalanche with the 5.3 Liter is rated 15 in the city 20 on the highway, the Ridgeline is rated 16 in the city 21 on the highway. Finally, the average rating from real people on that same website currently lists the Avalanche as having better gas mileage than the Ridgeline. Right now the user average is 16.1 for the chevy and 13.8 for the honda. Oh, and if you want to argue durability, check out edmunds.com's longterm test on the ridgeline, one editor went camping with the vehicle and a trip down a dirt road ended up blowing out all four struts, which the dealer was going to make them pay for.
One incident that led us to question the Ridgeline's adeptness as a true truck involved its ability to withstand off-road use. Senior Consumer Advice Editor Phil Reed took the truck camping in Death Valley, California, and was disappointed with the outcome. The road to the campsite was a long, but relatively flat stretch that seemed well within the Ridgeline's capabilities. Its surface was rough washboard but certainly nothing that couldn't be handled at modest speeds by a modern truck. "I adjusted my speed to minimize vibration and eventually settled between 10 and 15 mph. I held my speed down and steered around the worst of the holes and ruts." Unfortunately, his tame driving didn't render the Ridgeline damage-free. On the return trip, Phil realized that the Ridgeline seemed to be handling a bit strange, and took it directly to the dealer. A check revealed that all four struts were blown out and needed to be replaced. According to the dealer the repair didn't qualify for warranty work, but nonetheless, Honda agreed to cover the repair as a "one-time, good-faith" gesture. Needless to say, had they not done this our faith in the Ridgeline and Honda's willingness to stand by it would not have been good.
Oh, and the the Avalanche has a better EPA Air Pollution Score than the Ridgeline.

Oh, and the the Avalanche has a better EPA Air Pollution Score than the Ridgeline. when did i say a like honda foo
Just picked it because large portion of the american public perceives it as the civilized truck, for suburban families that don't really need a truck, from an environmentally friendly manufacturer.

Just picked it because large portion of the american public perceives it as the civilized truck, for suburban families that don't really need a truck, from an environmentally friendly manufacturer.she doesnt need a fing big pick up truck she could do with a sunfire or a pontiac g5 just because they are a environmentally friendly manufacturer doesnt mean some of their vehicless are more enviormentally friendly over some she picks a big suv/truck crossover just to feel empowered if i want power in a car id buy a corvette or even a 911 but a truck with cheap plastic and cant even do 100 mph its pathetic
btw, i dont drive an SUV i have a corrola 8) but my prents let me borrow the Camry Hybrid sometimes:P Im savin the planet all on my own.andyxm
I also own a corolla 2007. I love it and it gets great gas mileage. The only thing, when the wind picks up it pushes me around all over the road. Another thing that annoys me about large vehicles is when im sitting at a stop sign or light. Theyll pull up beside me, often times past the white line, I then have to pull up practically into the middle of the road just to see if a car is coming because they are blocking everything.

I guess they do, anyway, we shouldnt even be mentioning the people who fly with privat jets around whole day, the spoiled b*tches who dont work and are uber-rich... ah well... you just have to take it I guess... the world is not fair, shamelly.Â

Kinda makes you wish that there was a law about crossing the stop line at intersections, oh wait, there is the police just don't care about most moving violations anymore. Well, there's only like 56,000 traffic fatalities a year in the US, nothing to be concerned with, right.:roll:
