Replying to: baggs32 (Jan 29, 2007 9:47 am) It is impossible to tell how new Pilot or Highlander will look like at this point. All I was saying that I'd like to see all available options before jumping on Veracruz. I have a feeling that Honda, Toyota, and Nissan didn't waste all the years between models to produce a looser.

Replying to: albook (Jan 29, 2007 9:40 am) I'm 6'3" as well. I was very close to the ceiling in both the Santa Fe and Acadia. The seat was closer to the ground in the Santa Fe though.

Replying to: arumage (Jan 29, 2007 6:16 am) "I'm 6'3" and I thought head room was awful in both the CX-9 and the Acadia and Outlook. In the CX-9, I was comfotable in headroom in the 2nd row but not the 3rd. In the Acadia and Outlook, I fit in both rows but just barely. My head was close to the ceiling in both."   You didn't mention the FreeStyle. It has great headroom.

Replying to: stevedebi (Jan 29, 2007 12:05 pm) I haven't actually sat in the Freestyle. I can see the kind of stadium seating effect it has in the roof-line. My wife doesn't like it for some reason though so we didn't really consider it. It's going to be her vehicle so I guess she has to like it.

#85 of 7126 2008 Freestyle to get HP boost by hardhawk Jan 29, 2007 (1:26 pm)
I had thought the Freestyle was going to be killed, but it lives for 2008 with the "Edge" front end look and, more importantly, the 250-260 HP V6 that is also going into the 2008 Ford 500. If they can deal with what some consider a less than expensive looking interior it could pop back up on many people's radar screens. I had certainly written it off due to the HP issues. I'll check it out again once the 2008 is out this summer. It certainly has a significant prioe point advantage over many others in this discussion.

Replying to: arumage (Jan 29, 2007 12:37 pm) Arumage-Why do you even need a third row? not to be battering, but i've never really understood. I didn't hear you say you have kids, or carry 6 extra passengers(THough really, being 6+ft tall I know I won't be-and no one should- going rear of second row) Just wondering. Anyway, looking at the Freestyle, if ford has made the front more bole, and less duck looking(like more sheetmetal, and lsess front overhangs) than this Freestyle would look waaayyy better than the computer animated picture I saw. But I wouldn't dream of asking the wife what she thinks of this-She says she likes the Chrysler Aspen! i really can't wait to see the new highlander/ Pilot. If Honda hasn't raised the price-and seeing that they're not stepping up in market, why should they?-and improve interior space and exterior looks then Honda has a real winner! Another thing: Arumage- you say you'd be ready to spend 38g on a loaded VeraCruz(I might have misunderstood) But then you said CX-9 and Acadia were pricey. But loaded Acdia with everything but DVD is like 40g, and with out navigation 38g, and CX- with everything but dvd OR roof is 38g. looks like Hyundai has closed pricing gap!

Everything is really close with the CX-9 squeezing a good procing advantage.
