Heres a few websites showing the 2nd row in detail and from todays trip I have established that the reclining feature in the 3rd row opted vehicle is DAM comfortable when fully reclined......BUT in the NON 3rd row vehicle the 2nd row FIXED bench is actually statioanry at an already very good reclined angle !.....just a few more degrees of reclining with 3rd row vehicle.....phew !

And just crossed my mind, Im not the one going to enjoy it anyway....im going to be in the cockpit

Still I was talking with a good unbiased friend who works at dealer, and again RESALE comes to effect....but I dont think I will sell in 3-5 years anyway !...and even so, by then other real 7 seater large SUV's will be coming out..like X7 etc....

Heres a link though to my colour scheme....and as you can see the 2nd row ( FIXED on non 3rd row vehicle ) looks pretty reclined and comfortable as well.
