I can't believe you just compared the Pathfinder to a honda pilot. That's just sad.skinny2 wrote:Well this design is getting up there in age. It does some things very well...but it's about due for a redesign. You'll also note it's pretty much the ONLY mid-size ute that's truly built on a truck platform. That will go away with the redesign as well. It's still a very strong performer given its size and if you don't need ALL that performance you can run regular fuel without a problem. It likely still has better performance running regular fuel than many other vehicles. Honda Pilot is about 16hp and 35ft-lb (at 800rpm higher) short of the Pathfinder so it's certainly competitive.
Well it's sad but true.....for 90% of the buying public these are direct competitors. No doubt thats also the reason the next Pathfinder will be car based.volvite wrote:I can't believe you just compared the Pathfinder to a honda pilot.
