Why I bought the MO and what I want in a new SUV
All strictly IMHO:
1. Cannot have 3 rows of seats (or provision for them) - Putting the 3rd row in a vehicle of this size compromises 2nd row leg room and comfort, and compromises cargo space behind the rear seat
2. Must have a range (with reserve) consistently over 400 miles
3. 2nd row must be as comfortable as the front (within the limits of the "bench" seat
4. Must have HID headlights
5. Must have adequate HP/torque for the type of driving we routinely do in the west
1,2,4,5 disqualify the Tribeca
1 disqualifies the MDX, and kind of the Pilot (Pilot has a cavernous rear area)
We will see how these new entries measure up...
