Hope they add Braking Assist to all trims in 06.

Here's one of the latest spy shots of the '06 Pilot. Aside from some black tape covering the chrome "H" badge and grille slats, the vehicle appears to be completely uncovered and this photo isn't computer-enhanced as far as I can tell. (Click here to see another one -- I'll try to find an image of the rear.)

Is it just me or does this vehicle need 17"wheels. I love the PILOT but I wish they offered these larger wheels so that it looked more like a truck and less like a minivan... Any word as to whether this will be an option?

Thank You for the latest without disguise photo of the 06 Pilot, I'm glad that they finally did some mid-model changes to the Pilot, because the present 03 to 05 Pilots are getting so numerous over here in Southern California. This way this next model run of 06 to 07 would eventually be about 35 percent of the Pilot population. Even with 2WD I don't expect them to sell more, unless they got employee discount pricing nowadays

"Is it just me or...."
No, I'm thinking the same thing: at least an inch too small.
I haven't heard anything regarding this so far -- note that all of the disguised test mules have wheel designs identical to those shown above. If the Ridgeline is any indicator, however, then we could very well see 17" wheels standard.
I'll be on the look-out for 'em, though....

Thanks Mike. Are you the source of the spy shots or someone else?

...hmm... I'll be honest, maybe its just me but I'm not sure I like the new front end design over the old.. I like the projectors, but not sure I like what they did with the grill, etc... more boxier than the prior design. I'll reserve final judgement til I see it in person.
If this is it, what do others think?

I have also seen the Gross Vehicle Weight listed as 5,954 lbs in several places. I also heard that with certain options, like the tow package, the GVW can surpass the 6000 lb mark. I heard you need to be sure the new GVW is written on your purchase papers and then it should be OK. It seems to make sense, since I would think the tow package would weigh more than 46 lbs.

I'm not to concerned with the styling tweeks for '06 - pretty minimal, though the front end ties more closely to the Ridgeline, IMO.
I'm more concerned about what the changes are under the sheetmetal for '06.
As for weight, I would hope Honda would find a way to shave pounds off, given where gas prices are going...

"Thanks Mike."
It's my pleasure, Joe!
"Are you the source of the spy shots or someone else?"
No: these are from Autobild.de -- a German site (if Deutche isn't your forte, click here for an English translation). Note: to peruse through photo galleries, you must view the original (i.e., non-translated) webpage.
