With its three rows of seating, respectable fuel economy, handling, and smooth lines make for a stylish, yet practical people hauler. It has been in production since 1996, 2010 sees a minor refresh. As it was the 2008 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the year, they haven't seen the need to make any major changes.<p></p>This vehicle can haul 7 people in car like comfort. It's four wheel independent suspension provide a sporty ride, and helps control body roll even over rough pavement.
