Hey grad, your picture is too wide and is causing the posts to stretch under the ads to the right. Can you please shrink it or remove it?

I found some more CUV vs SUV vs minivan sales trends for you juice. Note that they state minivan sales are expected to be below 600k this year. Make sure you look at the graph at the end of the article too. Click here for the article and graph.

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 24, 2008 10:02 am) Shouldn't that lock the Pilot into what is essentially "4WD HIGH" ?

Replying to: piast (Apr 24, 2008 9:31 am) Translation: No, the Pilot driver cannot manually lock the AWD system.

Replying to: bobw3 (Apr 23, 2008 4:39 pm) The question for me vis-a-vis CUV or SUV is where the vehicle originated. A CUV is based on a passenger design. Thus the CR-V was based on the Civic (ruggedized). I think that the Pilot was based on the Odyssey platform. In my opinion an SUV has to be custom designed for heavy "utility" use, not based on a passenger vehicle. Note that starting from a truck design still makes it an SUV; trucks are designed for utility use. Cars and vans are not. By this standard the GM "Acadians" are CUV, since they were designed to passenger standards. |
