I did not know this, interesting.

I like the Ridgeline and think Honda paid attention to aerodynamics.

I've read that the blended area between cab and bed was wind tunnel tested, which leads me to believe that a downward slanted roof wing would work well here to complete the envelope - as the sides are covered for the most part.

Some people do like to bash anything just a little different, as for myself I like the odd stuff.

Plain is lame.
