Anyone care what Roadshow thinks of the hybrid Highlander?

I would argue, that without a back to back competitor comparison the comments are trivial and pointless.
There were brief mentions of the Palisade, but they lacked detail. If you do not drive the exact same potholed road, comparison is relative.
Battery performance is bad in cold weather- Plagues all OEM battery hybrids. This happens with your phone too.
MPG is below reported average- Winter gas+ bad road+ bad weather conditions means you won't get EPA ratings.
20in wheels do not absorb road vibration well.- more sidewall= more comfort.
NEO roads are TERRIBLE, does not matter what brand car you are in.
Akron/ Cleveland road conditions are WAY different than Cinci/ Columbus.
The only reason to head to NEO is for heavy lake effect snow, which they didn't provide detailed explanation of the Highlanders snowy handling

As far a reputation of Roadshow, I thought Cnet only did electronic device reviews?
I wanted a hybrid Highlander over a Honda Pilot, but the cost was too far apart. Very happy with the Pilot
