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

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.
