I think it is one way that manufacturers cut corners. Our Pilot and our former TSX chewed through rear brakes long before the fronts. Same with the Legacy I just traded in. The majority of the action the Pilot sees is local driving. It isn't unusual for me to see 13-14 mpg. When I had them changed at the 37K mark, I was surprised as well. I asked the dealer about it & he said: that's what happens when they put brakes the size of Oreo cookies on the rear of a behemoth like the Pilot.

The RDX is pushing 40K, and the brakes all around have plenty of life left, according to the inspection report I just got last week.

I think the first few out of the gate usually win the race. I'm expecting Atlas sales to be tepid.

I did not open that. Thanks for pointing it out. Yes, 2nd owner maintained the hell out of it. And since it was CPO'd, the damage probably wasn't bad. At least I know which corner to look closely at. I have to say they did price it accordingly. $11.5k is auction value if clean, which would put retail at $14k. Subtract my 20% rule for the dirty carfax for $11.2k net. Only $800 less than they are asking.

I fit just fine in my e82. That did have sport seats, however.
Anyway, decided, due to traffic, to not stop there but instead head to the place in S River with the JGC and C class. I did not even talk to a salesman. I found the place pretty suspicious. The C class for example had four different tires on it. The other C class sitting next to it has bald tires. And many other vehicle throughout the lot where are undergoing some form of repair.

I guess the dealer made a mistake on the GMC. The 3.6 was not available in 2011, from what I have read.

and the Terrain. Yes, I think I can get it for $12k OTD.

This is still in the back of my mind. I also have never seen this color combo before.

I like the red on the 3. Seems pricey for a 2009, but miles are not bad.
I am not a 300 fan, but color is nice. I really prefer the Infiniti. I always liked those. A bit bigger than I care for, but great interior on those.
I don't care for any of those SUVs. Especially the hummer, but I know you like them.

biggest attractions to the 400H are the hybrid and Lexus halos. I drove one once and didn't like it much but I'd be willing to give it another shot. I really hate the taillights but maybe there is an aftermarket fix.

Good luck pulling back on the search - I'm not very good at doing so once I start.
