Release date
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 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.	The 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited is a well-equipped crossover with some advanced cabin technology and a smooth power train. Aside from some questionable cabin materials, the Highlander is a worthy contender in a competitive segment.	The Mazda CX-9 is a sporty SUV that packs a lot of space inside but it both looks and performs like a much smaller vehicle. However, the cabin tech lacks polish and needs to be better integrated.	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.
