Same, no way. Where in my S560 cruising on the highway I exceed the EPA rated mileage at 80...and meet or exceed the EPA numbers around town.

as 'sleek' as a pacifica is, it and the odyssey are still huge buses lol and probably mpg is hurt by that.
that's probably why the sienna went hybrid and is popular.

S650 Mustang is an updated version of the S550 platform. It was originally planned to ride on CD6 for 2021, hence the past rumours of hybrid and AWD models, but was cancelled.

I think it looks nice, copying the domestic sub look for sure but it doesn't appear to be FWD at at glance.

I like the lower door area plastic, that prevents road debris from being flung up and damaging painted areas and just in general reduces maintenance requirements. It's not like this is a high end vehicle where the owners will get everything sealed and constantly monitor/clean it....

My Pacifica, we get 14-15 around town, 23 on the highway maybe and its rated for 19/28. My sedans on the other hand always over perform.
Yep, our '23 MDX gets ~17-18mpg city driving, and 24-25 all highway. Pretty poor, but it's a heavy brick. lol.
