I just realized something: these small Pick-ups like the Santa Cruz and the Maverick could very well come to Europe too. They're just as large and capable as Europeans need a truck to be when they don't want a straight up BOF Pick-up truck. They're smaller than the small Pick-up trucks we have here in Europe (the Toyota Hilux, the Isuzu D-Max, the Nissan Navara and the Ford Ranger, all of which are about 5.3m or 208.67in. in length) and they are more versatile than the cars on which they're based (the Tucson and the Escape/Kuga, that is - mind you, the Tucson and the Kuga come to Europe too) in the sense that the cargo room is larger and it can accept larger cargo or it can accept more forms of cargo! They're brilliant! Please Hyundai and Ford, bring these cars in Europe, they're the perfect inbetweeners to normal cars, crossovers and BOF Pick-ups!

I dig it. Looks like a cool idea for people who hit the the camping spots or head to the lake with kayaks and bicycles, or have jetskis or a small boat. This will get garbage or yard waste to the dump and pick up stuff like your new washer from Lowes. The in-be beer cooler is cool, so this would be a neat beach vehicle with the grill in the back, and you don't have to worry about the hatch plastic or carpet getting damaged, just wash it out when you're done.

[@operator7585]

[@dropusertable]

I agree it is cool looking, a good idea in theory if you prioritize it’s tiny size above everything else. But most if not all kayaks are going to stick out 4+ feet out the back of this truck-let. Better off tying it to the roof. You can only fit one bike with the cover installed. It’s just too small to be practical. Too expensive also, once you consider the base engine option sucks (according to every review out there) you basically have to spend Ridgeline money. So it really is just all about the size and coolness factor

[@embeaston]

I think they've caught up with the low end of other car brands. Their Genesis brand on the other hand is legitimately nice, not as nice as the cars (Merc S class and the like) many people including Doug compare them to.
