Toyota Highlander – 2008 Review: “Well, you can’t go wrong with a Toyota Highlander.” Once, that was our standard answer when asked about the crop of modern family wagons known as crossovers. Yet, it’s funny how times have changed, for as 2008 brings us a new Highlander – one that’s bigger, more comfortable, more powerful, more everything, really – we find that it’s no longer our default recommendation. If buyers don’t venture from the Toyota showroom they’ll no doubt like what they see. But if they really shop, they’ll discover they can get more comfort, room, power and even refinement in many other places at the same price.
