Only car based SUV with the room you are looking for is the Enclave and Traverse. Everything else is slightly smaller. We find the 90 big enough for most of our needs but no doubt the Enclave was bigger.

Isn’t the Pilot up for a major refresh soon? The current model came out in 16.

Think she finally gets it that makes no sense to put off any maintenance or issue one's d d has. She didn't like being home without a vehicle to use if she had to. She really hated it it seems and even if I left mine here for her, she wouldn't have used it. Just having one in the garage is enough she said.
Yesterday wasn't too bad at Toyota, made $20 in tips which surprised me! Sure, the lower spine is still in spasm but I'm taking things slow and getting it done. Decided that I'll stay for the time being and will wait till years end to make a decision about anything. Want to be an employee once the new Corolla Cross comes out just in case it helps any. Doubt it will...but one never knows!

The Traverse seems nice from my limited experience driving them. Driving a Traverse back to back with an Equinox showed that it was superior in every way.

So you’re the one that’s circumventing my security system. :@ Just between us poster buddies how do you do that?

Last Wednesday the car was repossessed, even after my niece showed them proof of payment to the dealer. My BIL and his wife spent most of Friday on the phone with both the dealer and Nissan Fincancial (45 mins on hold for that one) with no resolution. The repo towing company insisted they need an release from the people holding the title.
Apparently It turns out that they received the payment 2 days later than the last lease payment was due and immediately sent a repo order, probably because they knew it was worth more than the buyout. There was no communication between dealer and corporate. Bottom line is that a repo fee of $500 is required even though the car was paid in full and Nissan Corporate denies any responsibility for the fee. They are picking up the car Monday and will have to pay it.
I told my BIL and niece that if it was me I would spend an afternoon leaving negative reviews on Google, Yelp, Consumer Affairs etc. and make it clear that they would never consider Nissan again and would urge all of their family and friends to do the same.
I’d get a lawyer involved. It isn’t just $500. This is a repo on her credit. That will impact her for years to come.

Hugely important. WIth a ding like that she wouldn’t be able to finance a bar of soap.
And yes, I would absolutely vilify Nissan, the dealer, repo company and anyone else involved in this. Someone will eat the $500 just to make the negative posts go away.

It's also a story that would look good on a local station's "Troubleshooter" news segment.

This looks like one of those stories that a TV station would be interested in. Worth a try.
FWIW, I doubt that the repo company would get a ding on this because they’re sure to say, “we just do what the dealer/Nissan tells us to do. We’re in no position to verify info provided by the customer”.
EDIT: @roadburner beat me to it. This is what happens when you’re a slow typer. It least it looks like I was right. I shoulda been a judge.

At my son’s baseball game, I started chatting with a guy that pulled up in a drop dead gorgeous Black/Black Volvo V60 Polestar. I asked him about the car and how he likes it. He loves it of course. Interesting 2021 Carpocalyse story behind it. Back in 2017 (I think), he bought a CPO 2015 XC60 for his wife. 3 weeks later she got T-Boned while making a left turn. The person 2 cars behind her crossed over the double yellow line because he thought she had stopped to make a right (her left blinker was on). The Volvo did its job and she didn’t have a scratch on her. $22K worth of damage to the car, the insurance paid to fix it and wouldn’t total it. The guy figures he’s stuck with a car until the wheels fall off. Fast forward to this past March and he’s been “stalking” V60 Polestar Wagons. Salesman who he’s been dealing with says he’s got a car that someone backed out of. Does he want it for MSRP (said there were maybe 4 others in the country)? So the guy puts his car’s info into the usual suspects (Carvana, Vroom, Carmax…). Carvana and Vroom come back with $11K each. Carmax comes back with $20K. He fully disclosed the accident to them with the damage. He said he literally stopped what he was doing at work, drove up to the CarMax in East Haven (spent 2 hours there) got a check and took an Uber home. He picked up the Volvo soon after that. And lived happily ever after…

@greg128 - time to lawyer up and also to refuse (if they offer) to just take the car they they paid for and walk away with no tangible consequences to the lender. I think a poster here had a car wrongfully repoed many moons ago and got a settlement of about three times the cost of the car.

or just wait for a new design Pilot since yours is trucking along fine now. As others noted, it has to be coming soon. Current one has been out quite a while now.

Stick with the Pilot - heck, for a Honda, it's barely broken in.

I have no clue what the market is on any of this stuff now. Just trying to figure out what qualifies as a big midsized CUV now! They all seem big to me.
If you "need" a Suburban, just go buy one! or do the double up bit and replace the Pilot and the Tacoma with a full cab F150.

I know the Koreans have come a long way, but I have no interest in a Hyundai/Kia with that kind of price tag in the first place. Much less one with those kind of dealer mark ups.
The Pilot is weird in the fact that it seems to have a longer life cycle than other Honda Products. The previous generation was ‘09 - ‘15. So maybe a 2022-2023 redesign is coming up.

"We are really committed to going to an order-based system and keeping inventories at 50 to 60 days' supply," he said. "I know we are wasting money on incentives."

Gotta love when execs come to this big revelation that everyone with half a brain already knew for decades.
Still, I think there is a disconnect between “order-based system” and “60 days’ supply.”

It definitely is going to take some tweaking to the supply chain and typically ‘make to order’ runs extremely lean inventory wise so thats a risk.
It will be interesting to see if the inflated MSRP’s go away as a function of this. It will spell an end to the ‘look!! 10k rebate on a NEW F-150 XLT!!!’ type of ads.

Too bad most HVAC guys don’t do every day plumbing. If your guy did you might be able to work some kind of a deal with him.
If your system is more than 15 years old you might want to consider an entire system replacement. I’m sure that’s not what you want to hear but it is reality. Plus it’s always been easy for me to spend the other guys money.
Good luck.

Like because lower overhead carrying costs. But hate if they don't have enough stock to sell to the vast majority of buyers who are either impulse buyers or just need something immediately.
But a 50-60 day supply on the ground is still a lot of cars, and I think normal for most brands.
and it likely does mean MSRP will reflect reality. The new Maverick pricing definitely was much leaner than most models that were priced to be discounted and incentivized.

Does anyone know if that also applies to car purchased and financed through the manufacturer's financial arm?
On a lease, technically the leading company “owns” the car.

I'm due for a complete system replacement. I'm pretty sure the compressor, air handler, & duct work are close to 20 years old. I'm guessing they've been on borrowed time for at least the last 5 years. I got a few different quotes from a few different places last year. I got quotes from 3 different companies who want to do 3 different things. Each one more expensive than the next. One guy wants to put a new air handler exactly where the old one is, one guy wants to rotate it 90 degrees, the 3rd guy wants to put it on the other side of the house. I'd really love to hear some of your input as A/C isn't something I'm familiar with. Pleae feel free to PM me if you prefer. I want to do this correctly.

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
So, lots of seat time in the fleet. I mixed it up a little between the Polestar and XC90. Definitely have grown to prefer the EV driving experience - the one-pedal driving is wonderful for pretty much all driving situations. But the XC90 really endeared itself to me as well…I found that the “Polestar Engineered” drive setting made for a generally better driving experience with its improved responsiveness.
And…I love the unique accessories Volvo offers on its cars. I’d always wanted the dog setup for the hatch and finally sprung for it this time.
