Just like the center console tray on my 2010 Honda Odyssey LX.
Yea Honda has been doing this for many years.
If you buy a Limited trim then you are forced into 2nd row captains chairs. While it works out great for those who want it, it leaves the people who want the bench seat disappointed. The two reasons being; 1. you loose the middle seat which mean you subtract one seat vs lower trims, 2. If you have anything like groceries/pets in the trunk area it can fall into the cabin area because of the gaping hole. Oh, and it looks and feels like a minivan with 2nd row cappy chairs.
Why not give the buyer an option?! The lower trim XLE has the option for bench or cappy chair seating yet the more expensive Limited does not.
+1. I understand how captains chairs in the second row makes sense for some. But not for all. And I don't understand how it's considered a "premium" feature or option. Some people want to be able to walk through to the 3rd row and some people either don't want the pass through space or need the additional seating. Either way it should be an option like any other and I don't really see why one costs more than the other,
