It's more spacious and comfortable than anything in the class.
 
Overall space, yes. Passenger space, no. Also, comfort is subjective. Not everyone will agree on what is comfortable and what is not. I think the CX-9 is really comfortable, however, there have been a few to post here that it is not.

I guess I don't get it. I've driven and looked at the CX-9 and I found them inferior to the beautiful interior of the Saturn Outlook XR with the leather interior. Also the power was plenty for me. The third row seat was extremely easy to get to as well as plenty of leg room. Highlanders were nice, but lack the flexibility with no split rear row which had little kid legroom and very difficult to get to. Also, they do not offer memory settings for the Drivers Seat which is very important when you and your spouse have very different needs as far as height adjustments. I'm just in the looking phase and probably won't buy this year, but if I would it would definitely be the Outlook for me and my wife. I guess to each his own.

"Passenger Space, no."
 
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.

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.
 
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

If you look close, I said the Highlander does not have memory seats. To me the CX 9 is not as good as the Outlook, but just my opinion after driving the Outlook, CX 9, Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe, & Veracruz, and the Ford Edge. Outlook was better than all to me.

But it's just your opinion, that "I think the Pilot is a better SUV than the lambdas and the Odyssey a better minivan than the lambdas."
So I'll give you a link to where people don't have opinion, they're just buying it.

Honda Pilot #6 in this list.
and other link to:
  
So I don't know what full size CUV get award, but Acadia is defiantly number one in full size CUV's categories.
Plus, Lambdas win Motorweek's Drivers Choice Award: Best Crossover, 2nd year in a row.
