As the 2008 Highlander has grown has anyone compared the pros and cons against the MDX? I am looking to buy a new vehicle I am trying to decide between the two. I have three children and at least one needs to sit in the back (as they fight not to sit in the middle seat). How easy is it to access the third row seats on a day to day basis on these vehicles? What other pros and cons did you observe when you considered and what did you ultimately decide on? Replies to this message: garyanders (Aug 01, 2008 5:42 am)

Replying to: akin (Aug 01, 2008 4:43 am) I have an 08 Highlander Limited with AWD, the center console on the 2nd row is removable and stores in the front console of the vehicle. This allows easy access to the 3rd row. Buy the Highlander as the MDX is overpriced. You will really enjoy the Highlander, very roomy with lots of rear cargo space. In addition, the Highlander is made in Japan with great build quality. If you are a Costco or Sams Club member, they will give you the name of the contact at the dealership and will get you a better price on the vehicle. Hope this helps. Gary
