The Honda Ridgeline may not be strong, but it seems we can’t write it off yet.
Earlier this month, sources working for Honda anonymously told Automotive News that the Ridgeline would be pulled in 2012, which led us to report on it.
This week, two of the manufacturer’s spokespeople denied the information, saying their employer had no intention of giving the Ridgeline the axe and thinks it’s important to have a pickup in its portfolio.
According to Birmingham News, moving the production of the Ridgeline from Canada to the Lincoln plant in Alabama in 2009 was a sign of Honda’s confidence in the model.
The decision kept 4,000 employees busy at a time when sales of the Odyssey and Pilot, both assembled at the American plant, had slowed due the economic crunch.
