Honda: MDX or Pilot??

Re: MDX or Pilot??
Wow, Steve, looks like I struck a nerve. Sorry.
The truth is, some people put safety as a high priority, some people don't.
That's called making a choice, Steve.
Given the choice of two vehicles in the same class, one which offers better
safety than the other, the choice would be pretty simple to me. But hey,
like I said, I'm wierd that way, I value safety (and fuel economy) above
other aspects. Yes, by the way, I DO own the safest vehicle in my car's
class, thank you for asking.
Yes, the quip I made was a little silly, though there certainly is some
truth in it... if safety is that important to people, with a few exceptions,
they wouldn't buy SUVs. Now, some people are willing to take the chance
that something bad will not happen to them... and odds are, that's a good
bet. On the other hand, I choose differently.
Again, I apologize for hitting a nerve... but you really shouldn't let
someone's opinion get you in such a froth. Cheers.

Re: MDX or Pilot??
Oh, man, Mark, I'm sincerely sorry for going off like that on you. I
really am. I guess I just received your remarks too much in a
negative way, which you didn't intend. My going off like that is a
bad habit held over from the old days when flame wars on newsgroups or
bbs's was a common, everyday occurrence.
Whenever I get even a small whiff of something that resembles an
unwarranted criticism, then the ugly side of me rears its head.
Anyhoo, thanks for your apology and please accecpt mine. Ciao!

Hey, Steve:
You DA MAN !!! Your choice of either an MDX or Pilot are great....you will
still be smiling when you either trade or sell your Pilot in 3, 5 or 10
years...you'll definitely make out better than an Explorer, Jeep Grand
Cherokee, Montero, Isuzu Trooper and other similar sized (non-comparable)
SUV's....
My 2 cents.

Very good points. This guy from church I know just bought a brand new
Jeep Cherokee Ltd. and only 2 weeks after he bought it, the car
refused to remain running after he started the ignition. The car
would start, but only a few seconds after, it'd just turn off all by
itself. So far, he's had it at the dealer more than he's driven it.
Everytime the car was supposedly fixed, samething would happen later
that day or the nextday. One time, it even happened on the dealer lot
when he was there to pick up his car.
Up here in Canada, there's no such thing as a "Lemon Law", so he's
asked for either a another car or for a refund and so far, the
dealer's been asking him for more time to properly fix it. He said
he's gonna talk to a lawyer about it, but I really felt bad for him.
I mean, things like that thoroughly ruins the new car ownership
experience.

SUV's roll over. Get a car instead.

Actually, they are not. Not the same footprint, but are very similar.
Pilot is wider, MDX is longer. Same drivetrain, but the MDX gets more
horsepower out of the same engine.

The Pilot is made by Isuzu?

The earlier "Passport" was made by Isuzu for Honda. Pilot and MDX
are Hondas. Check your C.Reports repair ratings etc. and the IIHS crash
tests .. . if they've tested them >> http://www.iihs.org/
