I'd expect the Pilot to always do noticeably better in mileage, at least a couple mpg. Whether this is significant to you... 2. GM SUVs have historically had a fair to poor reliability record. 3. 2007 is the first year of a re-design and the first year is always more problematic. If you don't need AWD, then the 2WD Pilot would be a great choice - by far the best mileage in a 8-passenger SUV. I know you said you don't want a minivan, but honestly, the best people hauler out there is the new Odyssey and it gets better mileage yet. It's a smoother drive than the Pilot and because it's lighter, it's in many ways a sportier drive. Getting people in/out is SO much eaiser. If you haven't driven one, you should. The only way I'd get a Pilot over a Odyssey is if I wanted AWD, off-road, and/or towing. - Mark

Replying to: floatingcloud (Dec 21, 2005 6:13 am) Could it be related to the ANC?

Replying to: sas1 (Jan 03, 2006 2:01 pm) In any event, unless one really needed the extra towing and somewhat better off-road capabilities of the Tahoe, I'd go with the Pilot. And if you did need better towing/off-road, I'd look at a V8 4Runner before a Tahoe, although you'd have a much smaller cabin. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs... - Mark |

How good is the Pilot offroad? Anybody taking theirs in the snow, mud gravel etc and to what extent. Thanks

The olive interior is really nice. Not too green, some gray undertones to it. It's everywhere and it is the nicest interior color of the three available in my opinion. I wouldn't do that Amazon Green exterior though, too hard to see -- it's like camoflouge!
