20094dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control)
20074dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4

More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles.
20084dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars.
20084dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition.

A lot of poor interior materials - headliner, hard plastics on dash, some key controls (door locks, mirror adjustment) unlit at night
