I get the differences, but I am assuming the price can't be too different, and I think the Everest would be a much more exciting car to own. Would the Pathfinder do anything substantially better than the Everest enough to overlook the obvious advantages of the Everest? I doubt it. With its rigid frame and RWD, it might even handle better! I guess we will have to wait and see.

We will have to wait and see,
But I'm 99% certain Everest will be more expensive. and will not have car like handling.
PS I'm still not sold on the Pathfinder atm the outgoing territory is the better Buy

I think the Pathfinder's unibody will flex more, which I don't think the Everest will do. The solid rear axle should keep the rear end flat on the corners too, I think you will be surprised. I don't think either will have poor handling or ride comfort. They're not like the old 4x4s with sloppy suspension. I'd probably take the Territory over the Pathfinder too.
