Motor Trend's SUV of the Year didn't even make the list. So, forgive me forum for I have sinned. I test drove the Envoy. Go ahead. Call me names...

Darn you are right Ferdball..... they only give you 10 polls. Let me see if I can modify the poll.

Looks like the Admin or somebody with MODERATOR rights are the only people that can modify it. Which one should we have the Admin take out of the list?

Add the Toyota Sequoia to your list too. I was tempted to buy one....but came to my senses.

The Vibe/Matrix is a little tiny car, no? YANK! Otherwise, you'd need to add all the other pocket-rockets like the Focus, etc...

I too looked at the Sequoia. Hard truck-like ride, horrible mileage and $40k, makes you appreciate how much this little Honda-car does.

Calling Mr. Admin or any moderators out there, can you pls. replace the Vibe with the Envoy.

Thanks!

I will also PM the admin.

I agree--yank the Vibe and the Montero, while you are at it and definitely add the Sequoia. I also test drove one and found that it was waaaaay too big, felt like a truck and last but not least, due to a blind spot, I almost hit another car when I was test driving it--that was the deciding factor for me!!

I can't find the Aztek on your list.

Kidding, I did drive the Montero Sport though, not the Montero. What about the Lexus RX300?

I think the Vibe is out of its league here.

OK, I requested to take out the Vibe and Montero and put in the Envoy and Sequoia.

I test drove the Highlander. It doesn't even come close to the Pilot. It was a very easy choice.

What's wrong w/test driving a GM product?

I did too. Just b/c I have $3200.00 on my GM card. Wonder when I will be able to use it with all the GREAT products GM churning out these days. I got this GM card for over 10 yrs and still waiting for a right car to come along. Probably never.

Just for kicks, I added the Aztek to your list (just now, a few hours after I did those other mods). I figured since it was mentioned, the least we can do for a fellow Piloteer is provide some form of confessional, since that person (if he or she exists) would never reveal that information in the forums w/username attached

Isuzu Trooper,

I already own a 92 Trooper. I like it better than the 2002 model, but the Pilot was the best.
