Forbes article reports Honda Pilot #1
But we knew that didn't we? That''s why we bought one!
 From article at http://www.forbes.com/2006/04/17/tru...tos_newsletter Crossovers SUVs are another problem for the domestic manufacturers. The Japanese got into this business out of necessity because, years ago, they didn't have big pickups to use as underpinnings for big SUVs. So they played catch-up by building SUVs off passenger-car platforms. While crossovers are not as good for towing or off-roading, they deliver a smoother and quieter ride on paved highways and use less fuel. With today's higher gas prices, crossovers are gaining market share. Crossover Sales: First Quarter 2006 Company Q1 2006 Sales Honda Pilot 33,866 Lexus RX 25,407 Nissan Murano 23,196 Ford Freestyle 16,842 Buick Rendezvous 13,363 Source: Automotive News Note that the Pilot is now considered (at least by some) to be a "crossover vehicle" rather than a pure SUV. In a way that helps as it relieves the differences between a Pilot and some vehicles it is compared to.

Good, to see they have the cross-over category, because I never considered the Pilot a true SUV. As a you would a 4-Runner, Tahoe, etc. which are built on truck frames.
