I think the Pilot is more equal to the Highlander.
The Passport is smaller, I think. Compete with Jeep Cherokee/Compass, Nissan Rogue, Ford Escape, Chevy Terrain, Hyundai Tucson, etc.
Honda could never capture the mid-size or smaller SUV market as the CR-V was always sterotyped as a mom car.
I think they want this marketed as a "cooler" SUV, or Crossover aimed at a younger demographic, but not quite the young family demographic which who would probably buy a Pilot.
