Sorry, but I hear “lifestyle vehicle” and it is the moniker used usually to describe a “passenger car” that wants to give the appearance of being more rugged than it is.
(e.g. the Honda Ridgeline I presently own)
What you describe you want it for, are the same reasons I think it will be the...
Car & Driver were amazed at how well it did, and how well GOAT-mode worked. Far more capable than “some rocks, some times”..
But I agree w you that it’s is not as capable as his big brother. But it is more than a “lifestyle vehicle”... crossovers are “lifestyle vehicles”.. the Ridgeline is a...

It’s how they keep quality up. You start having a million options rather than standard trim packages and it increases production costs and lowers quality. Remember in the 70’s and 80’s when option lists were a mile long and the quality was garbage?
They learned this from the Japanese. Just look...
It’s a car! It’s a truck! No, it’s the worst of both! 😆
El Camino or Ranchero anyone?
if this is what ppl wanted, the Honda Ridgeline would sell like hot cakes.. bc that’s what it essentially is...
It’s actually a combination of the two.. due to all the safety requirements, the front end on a completely new body-type is tens of millions to develop. Hence why the automakers have gone to such widespread platform sharing vs. developing a new model from scratch. It also helped drive the...
