Then you know about the Toyota Highlander. The "buffetting" effect is the only major issue with the Highlander. I experienced myself on a testdrive. It actually HURTS your ears. The salesman would not admit to the problem, until I rolled down the back windows. He pleaded with me to roll them back up.

This was actually one of the reasons I waited for the Pilot. Now I just have to decide between the Highlander and Pilot. (Both great vehicles, IMHO)

Sorry to bring up what appears to be a sore issue. I am a huge Honda fan, wife had a accord, just bought her a CRV and I just bought the Pilot. I love the SUV don't get me wrong but I think its a mistake to call this a non issue. I can think of a dozen reasons those back windows would be open without the front being down and the effect is not acceptable. I have been formally educated and practice the Toyota Motor Production System as a consultant and can tell you this is a major flaw and not something to just shrug off. As a former QC manager in a production setting I can not understand how Honda let this slip through, they have some of the best Design engineers and quality systems in the world.
