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 5:30 pm) I love the interior in my 2006 Accord, and the exterior is inoffensive, if not exciting. The LEDs are a neat touch though.

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.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 12, 2008 7:25 am) Honda buyers are the least concerned about styling, maybe second only to Buick. I even think Toyota is more style-concerned. But maybe that is waht might hurt Honda with the new Pilot. Buyers are used to innoffensive styling-nothing amazing, yet certainly not ugly- and this Pilot is anything but innofensive. They should have just gone with the flow of the market- a swoopy sporty design, a poor man's MDX, or a supresized CR-V. I'd also guess gas mileage won't be up to "Honda" standards. On a lighter note, this might be good news for GM as I'm betting they are about to get a swarm of buyers who were waiting to see this new Pilot. Just a thought.

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 21, 2007 11:28 am) I don't understand what's not to like. I don't think the interior is great, or anything, but you get all the features, and it's not plasticy (maybe you are refering to the overload of buttons on the dash?). I' not really too picky about interiors. As for the exterior, I would definitely not say it's exciting.

| Fresh results form CR tests say Honda is number one automaker sold in the US. Another shocker: Toyota is number two. This was totally unexpected. Oh, and they just keep coming. US auto makers ar at the bottom of the list. GM's newer vehicles like the lambdas and Malibu did well, though. | |
