We've seen only a blurry pic of this, and from what I can see, it's nothing great in styling. As for the coupe in the background, don't get too excited. Ford's still gotta work on the meat and potatoes before they can bring the cake. And from what I can see, that meat needs a lot of cooking.

And I think the Civic is the best looking in it's class (besides the Mazda 3), and cool (my kids will never use that word again). Ofcourse, since Honda buyers are hell-bent on styling, sales will drop like rain.

Replying to: rsholland (Apr 11, 2008 2:52 pm) True. But, good grief, you still have to look at the thing every day! There are far more CUVs and SUVs these days that both look good and are excellent in functional areas to opt for this thing just because of the "H". |

Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 11, 2008 8:56 am) I just can't stomach paying $4/gal for Premium, now $4 for regular doesn't seem that far off. Any way anyone know what the 2010 Pilot will look like LOL.

Replying to: albook (Apr 11, 2008 5:35 pm) I actually disagree. Honda buyers are the least picky about styling, right next to Toyota buyers. People buy Hondas because of their reputation for quality and dependability. What I am curious to see is, what did Honda do to better the Pilot? They have had a few years to better their product. But, did they do it? What gives the Pilot an advantage over the other new CUV's like the Lambdas, CX-9, Veracruz? Consider reliability a given, what does the Pilot offer that the others do not? Is it sportier? I think not. I think it's pretty safe to say that the CX-9 has that covered. Handling? I think the Veracruz and CX-9 have it beat too. I assume this just by looking at it. Small wheels, and bulky stance and Honda has a history of vehicles that don't handle too great. Fuel economy? We will have to wait and see. Power? Also an unknown, however, it is rumored that the Pilot will have the 3.5L w/268 hp and VCM. I don't know if that is a good thing from by the way many are unhappy with the VCM Accord. Bottom line, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered to see if Honda really made an improvement with their new Pilot.
