When I buy something I like, I hold onto it. But they don't make them like that Jeep anymore. Try and find a new truck with a manual transmission, let alone one with a granny first gear. Armor? My jeep has full coverage of 3/16 inch steel skid plates underneath. Winch? I've pulled out more other vehicles than my own. Name a jeep trail in Colorado and my Jeep's probably been over it. I've never pulled out a Hummer or Honda, but I've never seen them on rugged trails.

NW, that is bad ass... when Jeeps were Jeeps, rock solid as fuck! They have sucked for years now... but I hear the new wranglers with the new v-6s are nice... haven't confirmed that though.

I do like the Ridgeline. Hondas are great, but you won't find one in my driveway. I simply can't. I have too many family members, and friends that rely on the Big 3. There are alot of vechicles I wouldn't mind owning from Ridgeline, Mini, and a few more I can't think of... but....

Depends on how you define "nice"
Roomy, yes
Comfy, yes
all the amenities, power windows and locks, A/C, Killer stereo, Carpet, cruise. It's got all that.

Power, NO! the 3.8 is gutless as hell, especially if you put bigger wheels/tires on it.
And mileage is marginal at best. mid teens if you keep it stock and play nice.
