What about the shifter by nickel

The reason I went with another brand when looking for an 8 passenger was that I can't drive a steering wheel mounted shifter. Do you know if Honda is finally putting the stick where it goes, between the seats?

Funny, but the reason Ilike the pilot is because the shifter is on the wheel! Almost all other crossovers are between the seats. Buy one of them

Nothing is for sure now, but Honda tends not to introduce new models before September. The 2008 Highlander (redesigned) will be unveiled tomorrow in Chicago though. Sales beginning later, but probably sooner than the 08 Pilot.

highlander got released. Exterior is not that great, actually dull than the current version, but the interior is good. Toyota is known for its quieter ride though.

i have an accord and civic, both has a high road noise. Hope honda does put some work on the new pilot in reducing the road noise.

Hey...thanks for the link. I myself have an 01' Accord and hope the new Pilot will have good sound suppression. I'm waiting to see what Honda will put out now to respond.

After the release of the Toyota 2008 highlander, I am nervous about a few things. The toyota suv user community is not that happy with the new design. They think, it is a "RAV4 on steriods".
 
1. What if the new pilot is a "CRV in steroids" ?
2. What if, Honda wants to keep the new pilot, somewhat dull, to make a difference between its mdx/rdx line, and not to loose their potential acura suv customers ?
 
I have ruled out buying highlander, and my choices are going to be either 08'pilot or 07'pilot. My wish is the new pilot to be pleasing the masses.

"CRV on steroids" - funny you say that, I always thought of the Pilot in that manner esp. before the '06-'07 redesign of the front grill...

I was looking forward to the new Highlander, but after seeing this poor redesign, which basicaly looks like a mid-model change They played it so safe it is crazy.
 
I am hoping that Honda after seeing the new GM crossovers and the Mazda CX-9 and having a bit more time on their hands will come up with something more impressive then a mild makeover of the current edition.
 
I would not be surprised if the Honda Pilot has some family resemblance to the CRV as long as they do not go overboard and use the smiley grill.
 
I am hearing conflicting reports at when it is to be released, some say this Fall as a 2008, some say next Spring as a 2009.

I have strong instincts that there will be a 2008 redesign, and will get in Sep'07. Honda is redesigning all its vehicles every 5 years. Also, i am seeing too many pilots in california bay area. looks to me they are clearing the inventories.
 
Yeah, i hate the smily, fish mouth of the crv. Also, i am not in favour of a round, ovalish shapes of crv and cx9. Other than that, they both are good. But, the new pilot could be slightly round, considering the new rdx and mdx redesign.
 
But, I have high hopes on Honda. Their odyssey redesign was good, and their crv,rdx, mdx redesign were ok and digestable. So, i am confident, that it will not be a disppointment. I dont expect 08 pilot to be super stylish. Even if they take the current pilot, and do a slight makeover it will be a hit.
