To say that the Pilot is large and inefficient when the Hummer is on the block is ignorant. My $0.02.
Although, a case can be made that the Hummer is a more efficient automobile then the Toyota Prius. Those who drive hybrids and think they are doing the world a favor need to look a little further into how their cars are manufactured. Parts shipped from the far reaches of the world, and batteries that are not environmentally friendly at all.

I merely added more fuel inefficent vehicles that the imports make. I could also add in the Japanese mini vans. To say the Japanese are better at fuel efficency is not true. The Japanese wanted a part of the SUV and truck market that the big 3 had control over.
