It’s official, Passport passes a Ridgeline in YTD sales.

Intersting reading. Thank you for posting!

Isn’t it correct that the Passport, unlike the Ridgeline, hasn’t even been on sale for the entire year? Didn’t it not even go on sale until sometime in February?

Looks like the Passport might be taking some Pilot Sales.

Honda understood well this market. Black rims, black mirrors. Us young guys don't like chrome.

Although it's interesting that PP beat Ridgeline sales in July, it could be that our PP's are finally being noticed as the SUV of choice in several categories; ride, quality fit and finish, appearance and the "adventure" elements in its design.

That is great news, one of my neighbors has a 2 year old Black Edition Ridgeline, I'll be sure to mention this to him (lol).

When I was at the Honda dealer yesterday, I asked them about Passport sales and they said they were on the low-side, due to Honda not really pushing them in advertising, but added that once they start doing that sales should increase.

My guess is that many Passport sales are probably due to someone walking onto the lot thinking they wanted a Pilot and then after being shown the PP, realize they don't need the third row...

I have noticed a drop off on dedicated PP advertising on TV. The newest Honda ads now show the entire Honda line-up with the PP appearing on the far left and only a portion of its front end showing. I agree with you that some or most of the PP sales came as a result of what you point out in your third paragraph.

That 3rd paragraph is exactly my case when I went in to see the Rideline. I said this is a nice size SUV and the salesman said: look at the cargo space. and I was sold lol

Don't want that 3rd row. I like the added ground clearance and the sportiness look it has.
