whoa slow down there big guy. One question at a time.

quarter mile for pilot: about 16 seconds
quarter mile for RX: 15.4ish

lexus will have a better resale

i have the towing package with the trailer hitch. No noticeable difference from a regular RX. I just use it for a bike rack

i think the pilot will have good resale. and if you care about how both suvs perform you should have gotten a cayenne turbo or something. plus the fact that both suvs are in different car classes

kids, dont try that at home.

The pilot is not even considered a near luxury vehicle, the interior is full of cheap plastic, how can you compare it the RX.

I guess that's because they are, from what I have read, pimp, whatever that means.

It's certainly not due to their reputation for reliability or their ability to hold their value on resale.

I guess that's what pimp is.

I guess pimp, as these young people call it, means the car is flashy. They are right, the Rover sure looks pimp when you see them in the repair bay on a lift.
