2009 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year Contenders
Wednesday, September 03, 2008 12:03 PM
It's open only to all-new or substantially upgraded vehicles that have gone on sale in the 12 months from November 1, 2007.

BMW X6
Chevrolet Traverse
Dodge Journey
Ford Flex
Honda Pilot
Kia Borrego
Infiniti EX
Infiniti FX
Lexus LX 570
Nissan Murano
Subaru Forester
Toyota Sequoia
Volkswagen Tiguan

Each contender is being evaluated against three simple criteria:

1. Superiority. We look at engineering excellence, advancement in design, utilization of resources, and safety. Vehicle concept and execution are important, as are use of materials, packaging, dynamics, styling, and fuel consumption.
2. Significance. How well the vehicle does the job its maker intended. And how it impacts its particular market segment, influences consumer perceptions, and transforms product-development trends.
3. Value. How each vehicle compares against its direct rivals. A vehicle with a low sticker price might not be as good a value as a more expensive vehicle that delivers outstanding performance, quality, and functionality.

It won't be the Kia. It's old technology.
Mechanically, it's nothing more than the Korean equivalent of a Yukon/Tahoe.

Forester or X6. Everything else gets lost in the crowd.

I hate the new body style of the 2009 Honda Pilot .....I'm glad we picked up our 08 Pilot.

I call the BMW on this one.
