ture, but it's not in the same price range as the USED vehicles listed. The 35 is.

I like the Pilot, but I like the FX more. FX handles nicely out of the box on those 20's.

I do like the FX35 as well, but it isn't as functional as the other when it comes to space. The trunk is tiny compared to the 4Runner and MDX. We need the space of a SUV, we currently have a minivan, but both me and my parents are both sick of minivans and they don't get that much better gas mileage than SUVs. And I feel like a loser driving to college in a minivan sometimes lol.

And I'm also not a fan of the Honda Pilot. I can't stand the interior design for some reason

From driving it, I wouldn't really classify it as a minivan. I think the size of the MDX is overkill and I actually hate seeing a single person driving a road tank with no purpose. For that matter, suburbans should be illegal for anyone with less than 3 children, IMO.

FX35 is pretty big inside. I can't see it being too small unless you are breeding a small army.

No I don't classify it is a minivan at all. I was talking about the minivan we have now.

2nd gen MDX vs. 3rd gen MDX = 2nd gen FTW! I drove around an '08 MDX for a while when our navi was getting replaced. They're nice but the styling is weird... it's not as friendly as our 04. Best part was the slap stick tiptronic transmission, sucker went 80 in 2ng gear

^^^ LOL, nice to see that you are treating the loaner properly!!! I've never been in a 3rd gen one, but I like the 2nd gen's looks more too.
