#11 of 1334 2006 features by peterclaver Jun 21, 2005 (7:15 am)
Anyone has any more info on the 06 models potentially getting - 1. VCM (as in the Ody) 2. Stability Control (even the 05 CR-V LX has it standard now)   How radical could a 'fairly extensive' styling upgrade be for Honda ?

Replying to: peterclaver (Jun 21, 2005 7:15 am) My '05 EX-L has stability control.   As far as the style is concerned, I really like the 2005 Pilot. The 2 things I would have changed would be the addition of side curtain airbags and a better color selection.   The '05 blue is pretty dull - I would much rather have had the blue that is available on the '05 Odyssey. The '05 red looks nice, but only comes with the ivory interior, which my wife did not like. Replies to this message: durability05 (Jun 21, 2005 3:34 pm)

Replying to: tcp27705 (Jun 21, 2005 7:35 am) I agree, the present Honda Pilots have excellent styling, almost like a timeless style that would not go obsolete, like the 1st gen. CRV. However some would prefer a more agressive utilitarian design , which I think only belongs to Truck base SUVs.
#14 of 1334 '06 Pilot Updates Listed in Consumer Guide Review by lfan Jun 22, 2005 (8:06 am)
Referencing Consumer Guide Review of the '05 Pilot (link below), Honda listed some possible changes:   1) VCM 2) Side curtain air bags 3) Standard stability control across whole line (not just EX-L) 4) Some exterior trim updates(?)   I purchased my '05 EX-L knowing these potential changes. It would be nice to have the additional features, particularly the side curtain air bags. But the '05 is a fine vehicle in of itself. There's always new features/content each year given the annual incremental updates that Honda and most other makes are now adapting during each model design cycle.   http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/new/reviews/full/index.cfm/id/38135/

Replying to: nowakj66 (Jun 19, 2005 1:18 pm) More on gut feel than on intel. Seems that Honda would want to optimize costs by using components and design work already in the Ridgeline when they redo the 2006 Pilot. We'll see what happens .
#16 of 1334 Re: 2006 Pilot -- Navi AND DVD System Included? [jwcosta] by kimw2 Jul 01, 2005 (9:30 am)
Replying to: jwcosta (Jun 12, 2005 7:08 am) As a mom of two young children (1 & 3) I cannot agree with you more! I am in the market for a new Pilot and am waiting for the '06 model for a few reasons. (Side curtain airbags, better colors, exterior styling etc..) I like the EX-L and was set on the DVD player, but recently changed my mind. A friend of mine has an Odyssey with the DVD player and unless the screen is angled "just so" her 3 small children cannont see it. She is constantly pulling over to adjust the screen. Upon hearing this, it made my decision much easier...I'm going with the navi. system and an after market (non-Honda) quality DVD player with a larger screen. (BestBuy has a lot of great options). I'd like the DVD player to make my life easier, not more difficult! Replies to this message: jwcosta (Jul 01, 2005 2:18 pm)

Replying to: kimw2 (Jul 01, 2005 9:30 am) On the after market DVD players, where is the DVD loading system mounted? Is it in the dash (like on the Odyssey) or is it somewhere in the rear of the car? Are there any that can be mounted in the dash of the '05 Pilot?
#18 of 1334 Some news by nowakj66 Jul 06, 2005 (5:33 pm)
Honda preview has posted some trim and color info. Looks like Amazon Green with green interior a la Ridgeline will be avaialble. All trims come in 2WD and 4WD. Now I wonder if it looks like a Ridge.    For the front treatment (headlights, grill, that would not be a bad thing.    It would be nice if they added some of the interior updates found in the Ridgeline too but that might be too much to expect from a mid model refresh.

Replying to: nowakj66 (Jul 06, 2005 5:33 pm) I like the interior of the Ridge better than the Pilot - specifically the open dash with no center console. It seems to enhance freedom of leg movement - I am not a fan of the center console rubbing my leg.   As for 2WD versions - as long as it has VSA with it, it is probably a good bet for states that do not see a lot of snow. And it would save $ on initial purchase and gas. But you would essentially have a cramped minivan in Ute clothes. Probably not great for resale.
#20 of 1334 VCM: does it make much of a difference in gas mileage? by pup975 Jul 08, 2005 (8:07 am)
Does any one know how good the VCM is at saving gas? I heard that the Odyssey's VCM doesn't help a whole lot on gas. I am trying to decide between getting an '05 when they are going on clearance versus buying a 2WD '06 when they come out. I live in Alabama, so the 4WD really isn't necessary. I am assuming that I can get the '06 2WD for about the same price or a bit more than the '05 4WD, but save in the long run with the 2WD '06. Any thoughts?
