If you guys were wondering, the old man grew tired of driving a mini-van and wants an SUV instead without sacrificing much of the space and comfort.

Regarding the parts availability for the Pilot, is it true that it shares the same platform as the Accord and Odyssey? Does this mean that drivetrain parts are mostly interchangeable?

On the Explorer, any recommendations between the 2.0 Ecoboost and the 3.5 V6? Is there any truth as well to the cabin smelling like exhaust fumes?

Will visit a Mazda dealership for the CX9. The looks though might not click for a middle-aged man.
