2009 Honda Pilot vs. 2008 Mazda CX-9 vs. 2008 Toyota Highlander - Although we've been hearing about a mad dash to get out of sport-utility vehicles and into fuel-efficient compacts, the reality is that seven- and eight-passenger crossover SUVs like the 2008 Mazda CX-9, 2008 Toyota Highlander and 2009 Honda Pilot aren't going away anytime soon.

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 07, 2008 1:12 pm) Shouldn't the title have read, "Asian Crossover Comparison"? No Lambdas, no Flex, no Journey, and so on. Please explain. Replies to this message: jerrywimer (Jul 08, 2008 2:59 am)

Replying to: rf600r (Jul 07, 2008 6:43 pm) I was just wondering the same thing. After all, they do have a Lambda in their stable too (the Enclave). Or would that have put all the Asians to shame, so they just decided to leave it out?

Replying to: mulligan101 (Jul 07, 2008 5:02 pm) I did not have a problem sitting in the middle row of the CX-9. I'm 6'3" and 195lbs. Shoulder room is a little tight and the seat its self was not as comfortable as the outer seats, however, it is doable.

That's exactly how I would have placed these CUVs. But you guys are missing some competitors. Like the GMC Acadia (Chevy Traversr?) and Hyundai Veracruz. And eventually you'll have to compare the Ford Flex to something.
#12 of 478 This Pilot Owner is Flying to Veracruz by prosource1 Jul 08, 2008 (6:12 am)
As a 06 Pilot owner, the failure of my air conditioning system with only 51,000 miles and the general arrogance displaying by Honda towards consumers in both customer service and the abysmal design offerings by Honda force me to go elsewhere, I'll either buy the quality offering by Hyundai in the 'Veracruz' or wait for the 4-cylinder Santa Fe in 2010. But I'm done with Honda. This company just isn't the company they once were. The Koreans and domestic seem to be hungrier for my business. The Pilot has to be the worst design Honda has ever produced. And how 'bout that horrible plastic interior? Replies to this message: vrm (Jul 30, 2008 11:19 am)

No freaking Outlook/Acadia/Enclave in this comparo? So was it Mazda that bribed you so they could be #1?

Replying to: dinomartini (Jul 08, 2008 9:56 am) If the comparo was named "Japanese CUV Comparison" would you be so angry? Just because GM makes a billion versions of the same car, does not constitute them being in every comparo. I hope you have some evidence to support your Mazda bribery claim. Why is it hard to believe that a small auto manufacturer can build an extremely competitive car that's better then the majority out there??

Replying to: dinomartini (Jul 08, 2008 9:56 am) There have been plenty of comparos against the Acadia and CX-9. i believe the CX-9 won all of those including North American Truck of the Year. I assume the little guy bribed all the Detroit journalists too?
