From a design standpoint --the Traverse trumps the Pilot hands down. Perhaps the Honda has something underneath the skin that trumps the Traverse??

I am unlike 90% of the posters here (and I tend to forget that). Looks are not near as important to me. I know the Pilot matches up better to the Lambdas than the Highlander in size, dimensions, interior room alone. I didn't say the Pilot is better....I haven't seen a new one yet up close.

I will say I like the Traverse styling WAY more than the Pilot (or Highlander). The folks who designed the new Pilot obviously had a boner for Hummer branded vehicles.....and that was a big mistake.

Also about the side view mirrors......once again, the styling is fine. But just give a large rectangular piece of mirror, then form a smooth shell around it. I know the Vue mirrors are a throw back (in styling) to the old Buick mirrors, but at least they are big and useful. I'd take a Vue mirror over a Traverse/Malibu/G6/CTS styled etc mirror any day if I could pick and chose.
