An improvement and will surely be hugely successful... but am I the only one getting a whiff of GM from the exterior?

lol that's probably the case for most women. I haven't seen it in person but it seems rather narrow!

looks really good live... both inside and out. really good.
Captain chairs at 2nd row... indirect lighting on front and back doors... nice materials, nice features... looks like Calty did it again. Go TMS!

No more wood look on the center console.
The present Highlander has the rear seat removable piece.

I keep looking at this and the Mdx and I would think the highlander is the premium car and not the Mdx. A long cry from the first gen!

I see mini-spindle grill
Each gen. looks better and better.
That purse slot is way too small for most purposes nowadays.
Some of these ladies carry mini-carry ons, not purses
Great for stealing food from the buffet bar though

Not in love with the outside. Side/rear looks fine. Grill has me queasy.
Most excellent interior. Puts the current one to shame. Well done.

2nd seat looks nice.. shades on the side... notice rear wents above doors and that rear has its own climate control
