The Bottom Line: The 2010 Honda Pilot provides room and entertainment for many passengers, but its cabin tech isn't of the highest caliber and innovative engine technologies don't deliver on their promise of increased fuel economy.
Specs: SUV, Gas
The Bottom Line: The 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L's small size and Civic-like handling make it a great choice for city dwellers who occasionally need to haul things--or people. While the cabin tech is impressive, a few more features, such as Bluetooth or iPod connectivity, would make it a home run.
Specs: SUV, EX-L, Gas
The Bottom Line: The 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L is a solidly built SUV, but it feels underpowered for its size. Technophiles will want to step up to the Touring trim level or look elsewhere.
The Bottom Line: Although we enjoy the driving characteristics of the 2008 Honda Element SC, the lack of cabin gadgets is a big disappointment.
Specs: SUV, SC, Gas
The Bottom Line: The 2007 Honda Element SC doesn't have enough cabin gadgets to be considered a tech car, but it is very practical. It takes little skill to drive, and it can hold a lot of gear.
The Bottom Line: With its stylish exterior and interior design and a wealth of useful tech features, the 2007 Honda CR-V is a positive evolution for the popular urban SUV. If you're into digital audio, just make sure you bring your iPod.
The Bottom Line: The 2006 Honda Element is a car for audiophiles who want the space and versatility of an SUV, the performance of a car, and the looks of a UPS delivery truck.
Specs: SUV, EX-P, Gas
The Bottom Line: The 2006 Honda Ridgeline is garnering accolades from many sources, and deservedly so. Thoughtful and rugged design, relative drivability, and a few good tech options make this an easy truck to like.
Specs: truck, RTL, Gas
The Bottom Line: The Honda Element's looks might not please everyone, but its flexible interior and comfortable cruising manners make it an excellent tool for carrying all types of gear.
