Eventhough the Pilot isn't supposed to be much of an off roader, I think the Murano will be even less of an off roader. I think the PathFinder will match up against the Pilot better.
I didn't know you couldn't get a sunroof with a Pilot. Why not?
The PathFinder\QX4 seem to be a popular SUV here on campus. I see them with the big NCSU stickers on the back, but all are the same gray color.
I think the head of the Engineering department drives a MDX.
