And the third row still probably has nothing in comparison to larger CUVs (which makes sense, considering they are larger). The Lambdas which are 10-12 inches longer, don't have quite the interior volume of minivans- which are larger- come very close, in fact, having more than anything else beside the Suburban. To tell the truth, I think GMC designed a better Pilot (or Pilot XL) in the Acadia. It's more spacious and comfortable than anything in the class. It's one of the most powerful and capable. And styling is muscular yet sleek- something the Pilot could improve on. For once I think honda could learn from GM.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 17, 2008 4:45 pm) What CUV has more passenger space? "Also, comfort is subjective" True. But if third rows were in the question, the only thing comparable is the Taurus X. |

Replying to: albook (Apr 17, 2008 4:33 pm) Honda has the Odyssey for those needing more space than the Pilot. Again, lambdas are a foot longer than the Pilot so they should have a lot more space inside. Yes, there's about 5CuFt of extra cargo space behind the 3rd row of the lambdas and maybe an inch of extra 3rd row legroom, but I'd expect a lot more than that for the foot of extra length. The lambdas try to be a minivan and SUV in the same vehicle. I think the Pilot is a better SUV than the lambdas and the Odyssey a better minivan than the lambdas. A lot of it depends on the real-world use a person is really going to get out of a vehicle. I'd say that most folks are going for the SUV/CUV look over a minivan purely out of looks and vanity. If that's the case then just get what looks good to you but avoid any logic discussions
