Honda Pilot by boomchek

Dropped by my old Honda dealership today, and had a look at the Pilot. My buddy showed me one they have that they use for demos, as they can't get any in, and wait list is on till September.
 
Looks better than in pictures. I'm not fond of the Pilot's bulldog face, and some of the plastic trim inside, but otherwise it's anice change from the old one that was getting boring to me.

A wait list? Huh. Should send the buyers to NJ.
 
I also stopped at the Honda dealer this weekend. They had one in their showroom and more on the lot. At first, as I was sitting in the showroom, I looked over and thought "huh. why would they put a Pathfinder in their showroom."
 
I really don't like it. Previous gen was much better looking. And the price has gotten up there, too. Our '03 EXL was about $31k. I checked the sticker and this EX with no leather or moonroof was over $32k. Then the dealer tacked on a bunch of crap, including $1300 running boards!

I find Honda is notorious for overpriced accessories. I learned that when I went to work for Nissan, and then Chrysler, and found most of the stuff including running boards and spoilers to be half price.

I agree Boomchek, the old Pilot looked too much like a Minivan, the new one has a much stronger look that will probably attract more male buyers, perhaps at the expense of females.

I'm no big fan of boxy SUVs but the black RR Sport I saw this morning had a certain appeal, perhaps because it's so rare these days to see 70s-style tall side glass.

Saw one of these little buggers this morning, also with ads plastered on the side.
 
I've seen a couple of Pilots and they don't look any better in person. Maybe I'll get used to them.

I'm starting to see a few of these every week...
 
Somehow, I don't see them taking off like the MINI...

They did here .. I bet if your prices get as high as ours, they would be more popular there, too - but only in urban areas, as I can't imagine anyone would use one to cruise across the praries, or something....
Having said that, I was passed by a Smart Fortwo the other day on the motorway - I was doing more than 80mph, and he came past at more than 90.... Probably still doing 50mpg, even then
