Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 17, 2008 3:45 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 3:33 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

Replying to: bobw3 (Apr 18, 2008 9:54 am) So I'll give you a link to where people don't have opinion, they're just buying it. http://editorial.autos.msn.com/listarticle.aspx?cp-documentid=434652 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. http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/dc2008/

Replying to: bobw3 (Apr 18, 2008 9:54 am) As for the lambdas trying to be a combination of a minivan and an SUV, I'd say it's the best combo out there. It combines the two without giving up much of either. I think the Acadia is a better SUV than the Pilot. The only thing SUV-like I think the Pilot has over the GMC is the square, tough wannabe, slightly dated exterior, and the worse gas mileage. The Acadia is more powerful, and has more utility. As for the Odyssey being a better minivan than the lambdas, of course. Just about any minivan (save the micro Mazda 5 and the now departed Chevy Uplander) is a better minivan than the Lambdas. However, if you need minivan capability but want the perks of SUVs and CUVs, the lambdas are the best combination out there. And that's what consumers seem to want right now. They don't necessarily need the rough-tough looks. However, not everyone needs the space of a minivan, so they go with some of the smaller choices on the market.
