My wife and I have also been looking at 7 passenger SUV's and just bought a 08 Highlander Limited with everything including NAV and rear DVD. We were considering the Pilot and we really liked the CX-9 until I found out it was using ford's V-6, the pilot felt too much like an economy car because it had way too much plastic on the interior plus the ride and drive were not very polished for the price.
Now, the highlander is like driving a new avalon on steriods. It is roomy, plush, Ultra quiet, and handles like a dream. It is exactly what I have come to expect from my toyota's since this is our 7th in 10 years.
Now for pricing. Like I said we got a Limited with tow prep, roof rack cross bars, cold weather, 3rd row, nav, rear dvd, remote start, mud flaps, and alot of love. We walked out the door paying $38,500 (that is $3,000 off sticker and it was not on the lot they had to go get it) so you can deal quite a bit on the price all you have to do is buy one or two cars a year and have lunch or dinner with your salesman and his family on an occasional basis. Also it helps when you salesman/friend waits to sell you the car when his manager is in Hawaii.
After driving the car for a few days I can honestly say we made the right decision on which car to buy.
Trust me, when you drive it versus the competitors you will see instantly. Good luck!
