suv sizes

The LX470 is considered as a luxury SUV but is categorized as midsized along with the X5, MDX, and the M-series. BTW, mbt is right...... the Excursion is soon to RIP because of its lagging sales. The Expedition, Sequioa and Tahoe are full-sized SUV that seats 8 people but got beaten by the smaller Pilot in CR's rating for the best 8-passenger SUV. The Pilot also bested the previous top-rated midsize SUV from Toyota which is the Highlander Limited V6. There are 2 different Monteros in the US. Am not sure what Mitsu had in mind when it named 2 different SUVs as Montero and Montero Sport but the Montero Sport is a midsized SUV while I'm not sure about the other one but am leaning towards full-size. Yung Patrol hindi ko alam since sa Asia lang yata ito pinu-produce.

macky,

isn't the LX470 being compared to the larger escalade, lincoln navigator, range rover...? kahit bitin yung dimensions niya... at least until Lexus comes out with a version of the sequoia...

MDX and LX470 don't compete in the same class right?

The MOntero is also known as Pajero and the Shogun(UK). It is a midsize suv in the states. The MOntero sport is also known as the Mitsubishi Challenger in Asia is an suv developed out of a modified L200/strada pick up chassis, a la 4runner, terrano. IN short, strada ito na merong SUV body :D

Thanks for the correction mbt. The GX470 is in the MDX's category. Sorry for the confusion.
