When Honda launched the Ridgeline back in 2005 as a 2006 model, it immediately stood apart from the rest of the pickup-truck segment in North America. It boasted unibody construction and integrated its bed into the bodywork, and although it was considered by many truck enthusiasts as not being a …

I just don’t understand how a company like Honda, which builds some of the most popular models on the market year after year, can green-light an exterior design such as the 2018 Honda Clarity’s. To be fair, the automaker takes few styling risks, and the relative blandness of their products …
