2012 power liftgate? What?

[gamerc]

I assume it's a typo, but did they actually bring back the power closing liftgate?

Check the features tab, halfway down on the right. Would be cool if it was something that made it back to the platform, and could be retrofitted into 2010-11. Ah, wishful thinking.

Agree. Waiting for an oil change on the wife's CRV the other day... was looking over a new Pilot... it has the power liftgate... sure wish I had that.

They are calling it "Power Liftgate/DeckLid". Wonder if its like the Gen 4 where it was power the last 1" when closing or a true power liftgate with one touch open - which would be sweet.

They call it that because the handle that actuates the lock mechanism is powered. Same as '10 and '11.

I don't think my 11 Limited has power anything in the liftgate. Am I missing something? Wait, the handle????? Really??

On my 2010 SR5 the "latch" works like a power lock. Small solenoid operates the locking mechanism.
