Well, at least thats better than last month. Maybe people are starting to see the light. Or, the dealers are giving them away to get rid of them. At least its in the right direction.  Mike

I know of at least one that sold in March! ;D Sorry, couldn't resist! I love being a new owner!<br><br>Yeah, at almost a grand under invoice, I would say that dealers are giving them away. <br><br>Hopefully as spring/summer approaches and the weather warms up, people around here will see this as the perfect beach vehicle. Of course, it's the perfect all-weather vehicle too. It rained pretty heavily today for SoCal and I seemed to be "suffering" a lot less than everyone else on the road.<br><br>I wonder why more people don't "get" it? I can see the appeal of the Ridgeline from an aesthetic/utilitarian standpoint, but at over $30K, that's at least $10K more than my turbo Baja. And I'm sure they won't deal, it being an all-new truck model for Honda and all. But if you gotta do some serious heavy haulin', I guess it makes sense, just not from a daily-driver standpoint, which is what most people will do with it.

I've been seeing them in my area (Baltimore / Columbia, MD) with more frequency, so maybe we're finally seeing an upward trend.

At least you see more of them out by you Patti, I have not seen anymore of them out here yet. I hope that changes soon. There is one here in town, owned by an older couple. When I pulled into the gas station behind them last summer, I walked up to them and said,"I can't believe it, there IS another one out there!" They got a laugh out of that, and said they have not seen many Baja's either, and no others in our area. Still is a rare beast here in the land of cheese. Mike

If it was an atlantic blue pearl, 05 turbo, that was just me. Been cruizin around town (Vegas) since I finally got it Friday. Getting a lot of attention, that's for sure.

487, huh? Not bad at all.
I just read that the Honda Insight Hybrids are selling at the astonishing clip of, ready?, wait for it!, drum roll, 1 per month! That's right, 1 per month! You just know Honda is making a ton of yen on THAT car!
I know I am getting more and more responses on my Baja.
Keep it under 90, folks!
