Introducing the Ridgeline truck, via RPA in Santa Monica, Calif. No jokes, all sell, featuring the power, construction, lockable trunk feature and, "above all," Honda pedigree. The "above all" line syncs with a shot of a Ridgeline negotiating mountains above the cloud line. A compelling positioning and a deft use of the airtime that $2.4 million got advertisers on average in Super Bowl XXXIX.
