#1 of 1334 2006 Honda Pilot by nathar Jun 07, 2005 (4:32 pm)
Anyone seen any news on the 2006 Honda Pilot? This is the only thing I've found:   "The Pilot is set for a mid model change in 2006. From what we've been hearing the styling upgrade should be fairly extensive. You can also expect to see VCM (Variable Cylinder Management), Curtain Airbags and 2WD trim levels. XM you ask? We don't have a confirmation but we believe it will be standard on select models. The first 2006 arrivals will be in September."   I'm in the market for a Pilot, but I'd like to know what the 2006 model will bring before I decide on the 2005.

Expect Honda to be hush-hush, so you won't have much info leaked.   You can wait until August for the screaming deals on the outgoing Pilot...   And check out the 06 Pilots too... Replies to this message: rgillies (Apr 03, 2006 6:56 am)
#3 of 1334 2006 Pilot -- Navi AND DVD System Included? by jwcosta Jun 12, 2005 (7:08 am)
Hi. I realize we can all speculate on what the 2006 Pilot will bring, but my hope is that Honda will allow for BOTH the navigation system AND the rear DVD entertainment system in one model, rather than making the consumer choose between them. You can buy a 2005 model with the navi system and then have the DVD system installed after the fact, but they install the actual DVD player under the driver's seat instead of in the dash. This is VERY inconvenient and I would never do this. Imagine being on a trip with young kids and they decide they want to continually change the DVDs? The driver would have to pull over to change them. Let's hope Honda gets this straight in 2006.

Hopefully.... a boost in horsepower Side airbag curtains Standard XM radio New taillights Perhaps a Special Edition Model - more bells for fewer $$ Not too much new anticipated   It will need to compete with the new Hyundai Santa Fe which will be released later this year or early next. This company clearly has its eyes set on Honda and may be a formidable competitor.

#6 of 1334 If there's one thing wrong with the Pilot by navigator89 Jun 15, 2005 (5:34 am)
it's the styling. Sure most vehicles in it's class look boring, (Highlander, Freestyle) but Honda's Pilot looks even more boring and bland than the other two. Hopefully they'll inject some style into a redesign. Honda went the right way with the Element's styling, it would help if they could apply that kind of design philosophy to the Pilot.

When the Pilot was released, there was no Freestyle, so the Pilot was really aimed at the mainstream Explorer. Comparing the two of those, the Pilot is very similar in styling IMO. We have a sister to the Pilot, the MDX. The MDX is a little more stylish but the pilot is much more spacious escpecially in the 3rd row. My point is that the Pilot is a utilitarian design, want more style, check out the MDX. Or even moreso, if you don't need seating for 7, check out the new RDX which should be priced around the same as a Pilot EX-L. Looks to be pretty sharp looking as well.
#8 of 1334 2006 Pilot - Ridgeline Styling by r2d2_3cpo Jun 19, 2005 (11:20 am)
Don't be surprised to see some similar styling to that of the Ridgeline show up in the 2006 Pilot...not that I am a fan of the Ridgeline's looks. Replies to this message: nowakj66 (Jun 19, 2005 1:18 pm) r2d2_3cpo (Jun 26, 2005 3:53 pm)

Replying to: r2d2_3cpo (Jun 19, 2005 11:20 am) Are you basing this on the reports on HondaPreivew or some other intel? Replies to this message: r2d2_3cpo (Jun 26, 2005 3:53 pm)
#10 of 1334 Utilitarian looks by durability05 Jun 19, 2005 (5:43 pm)
I do hope they restyle the Pilot to look more like the Ridgeline. I remember the 1st generation CRV, plain styling that doesn't offend anybody. To be replaced by a boxy utilitarian styled 2nd gen. CRV, The old CRV looks great, but its been years and just about all I have seen on the road look long on the tooth. I like the styling of my 04 EXL , it only has 7,000 miles and is 12 months old, A mid model redesign should make the 1st gen. Pilot not too common on the road. Great SUV , except for a suspect transmission and a cumberson rear hatch for a $30K vehicle.
