Yup, and was doing very well until about half way when the poorly chosen
tires gave out.  Two Ridgelines were very near stock, had minimal
preparation, mostly to the safety regs of the race.

Regardless of the nay sayers and nit pickers, the Ridgeline is a truck and a
very good one in its class.

the civic looks much improved, the minivan is equalled only byt he
sienna, and the "truck"...? well, 2 out of 3 aint bad!

has a ridgeline run at baja yet?

From what I've read the Accord in '07 won't be much different than the
current model.  Seems like Honda's best engineers were working the Civic,
minivan, and pickup truck.

Well the most recent Accord isn't as responsive as past Accords and
with a decent set of tires the Camry's performance envelope isn't all
that much different. Besides, sport sedan buyers have sportier options
than Accord these days. The Camry and Accord are both mainstream family
sedans.

But lets wait to see how Toyota packages (especially safety related
options) and prices the new Camry.

Actually, I am pretty sure the current Avalon uses regular gas too.

But how well does it handle compared to Accord?  That's the big difference
there; you get either a soft ride (Camry) or tight handling (Accord).

I wanted to see how Toyota dropped the Avalon 3.5 liter V6 into the
all-new 2007 Camry.  The horsepower is down a notch, but the Cary
probably is making do with regular gas, unlike the Avalon.

The bigger news is how elegant the Camry looks -- it's a cross between
the G35 and the TL.  Could just as easily have been called a Lexus.

A few photos are on the toyota.com website.  The official roll-out is
in March.

Honda engineers must be frantic.  I hate to say it, but the new Camry
somehow makes my '04 Accord look dowdy.
