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)

#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.
#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.
