Actually, no one *needs* a Honda Pilot. Mini-SUVs are the useless vehicles. They can't tow, or carry people or much cargo... what the heck *are* they good for? I need an SUV because I routine trailer my boat and carry 5 passengers and there is no "mini-SUV" or car or "faux station wagon" (whatever that means) will do that. -Fred W '97 XLT 5.0 AWD |

Not sure if I posted this in this thread, but I settled on the Subaru Forester and picked it up yesterday! No, it's not a direct replacement for the 91 Explorer (that would probably have been the 04 Jimmy 4dr) but I found my needs and wants have changed in the 14 years I drove my baby. =aw andrew ] -- for PGP public key, send email with "send public key" as subject |

Subaru.....boy will you be sorry. Go read the comments on alt.autos.subaru. People with 3 year old Subaru's are looking to replace engines, constant problems....CHEAP CHEAP car. Right up there with Kia, Hyundai and Daewoo. |
