We still don't see too many Honda Ridgelines on the road in our area, but I've driven the trucks enough to be impressed with their performance. Jason Fogelson, About.com's Guide to SUV's, just spent some time test driving the 2010 Ridgeline, and shares his feelings about the truck in this spot-on review. Visit the Ridgeline photo gallery for a close look at the truck, inside and out.

Look for a couple of changes to Chevy Colorado trucks for 2010. Head curtain side air bags are standard now, part of a general trend towards more safety features in pickups. A new 5.3L V-8 engine with variable valve timing is standard on Colorado trucks with ZQ8 sport suspension, and optional on Extended and Crew Cabs. GM also added three new metallic colors, a red, a green and a silver.

Chevy's small truck is still available in three configurations: a 5-6 passenger Crew Cab, a 4-5 passenger Extended Cab and a 2-3 passenger regular cab.

12-23-09: Are you looking for the Honda Ridgeline review?

I apologize -- my newsletter contained an error. Here's the correct link to the Ridgeline.

I have a brand new place where you can share your stories, in a format called Show and Tell. I'd appreciate it if you would stop by and test drive the feature. If you've owned at least a couple of pickup trucks, I'll bet one of them was an all-time favorite. Take a minute and tell us all about your favorite truck, and upload a photo if you have one.

PS-If you shared your truck earlier today, and didn't see a way to upload photos, send me an email. That area is fixed now.

Just under half of the 677K vehicles sold during our Cash for Clunkers program were Japanese-made -- the stats no doubt include cars and trucks built in America by Japanese companies. US automakers won't see the same surge in sales from Japan's clunkers program, because their vehicles are excluded.

Robert Longley, About.com's Guide to US Government Information, has the details, including differing opinions about the issue.
