"Any possibility 06 pilot would change dimention and be longer then current one? If so, it'd a -ve from my perspective. Ridgeline is too long..."
 
No, if the '06 length changes at all it will only be because of the bumper modifications.
 
An all-new Pilot will supposedly be out next year. Honda might then take the oppurtunity to switch the Pilot to the "global truck platform" (on which the Ridgeline is built), possibly increasing the size a bit.

I would guess the revised Pilot in 06 would go 06 and 07 and an all new Pilot would be in 08. But just a guess.

"Now I'm POSITIVE a RES is already available on the Pilot. Is it a different version?"
 
Yep, it's different. The Odyssey's has a 2" larger screen and some unique features (such as a faceplate that can be released separately and used as a remote control). I have to assume that's what the original author meant.

Maybe so. It was so hard to get information on the 2006, I think everyone's just guessing now....
 
Have a great evening, Joe!

Kristie,
I haven't the foggiest idea as to what the seats will look like - but you're right: the current ones look really weird! I personally would like to see some active head restraints for better whiplash protection. The '07 Hyundai Santa Fe will have them, so, who knows...?
I'll reply back to you once I find out, 'k?

2006 Honda Pilot Spy Shots by mike_belknap

Here is a spy shot of the facelifted '06 Pilot. For the full article (with additional shots) and photos of the upcoming '07 Acura RDX, click here.
 
Kristie, it appears that the front-seat head restraints do have a "peep-hole" in them. But from what I can see, the design seems to have changed. Kinda hard to tell, though....
 
Enjoy!

I am planning to buy an suv for my business before the end of the year and would love to get the Pilot for all the reasons people seem to love this vehicle. The 2005 Pilot has a GVWR of 5,954 lbs which means it won't qualify for certain tax treatment (must be 6,000 lbs). Any word on wether the 2006 will be a little heavier? I am hoping that the redesigned front, additional airbags and other changes will cause the weight to exceed the threshold.

Are you sure about 5954 lbs?
 
The Honda website lists the Curb Weight as 4414 for the LX and 4431 for the EX.
 
5954 lbs. is a lot!! Only full size trucks approach that kind of weight. A Navigator is 6000 lbs, an H2 is 6400, and an Escalade is around 5600 lbs. No way the new Pilot will even approach 6000 lbs, it'll need a V8 for power. 255 horses won't cut it.

I don't know how to paste a link to another discussion, but if you go back to the Honda Pilot forum and search "gross weight," there are a bunch of posts about this topic. The additional deduction under Section 179 is based on the gross vehicle weight rating. Your numbers appear to be curb weights (for example, the Navigator has a gross weight of 7,450; Escalade is 7,000)). The current Pilot comes close, but unlike the Ridgeline,Pathfinder, 4Runner, and Cadillac SRX, it does not qualify.

No, nothing yet. 'Course, 46 lbs really isn't all that much, so I figure it's possible. Even a slight (favorable) revision in the payload capacity rating or some other, relatively minor alteration could do it.
Have you noticed that all V8 4WD Toyota 4Runners qualify... by 5 lbs!
