The class is really getting high class in terms of materials... Honda should have kept up, are they having financial problems?

So long C&D 5 best trucks for 2009 too, the CX-9 may just be the new Pilot

Why are we comparing and LX or EX model Pilot to a top of line the model from everyone else?

At least find a pic of an EX-L Navi.

Doesn't matter what it looks like---its a Honda! I think Honda throws in some funky characteristics in their latest designs just to see if people buy into it becuase its a Honda. Obviously from seeing the # of Ridgelines, Elements, CRV's and to a lessor extent Civic sedans on the road the new Pilot will be a success no matter what it looks like.

That being said could you imagine if this where the new Chevy Trailblazer instead---DOA

Not sure why you think I'm pouting. If it were the other way all the GM fan boys would be complaining.

It is SO bad that it almost makes you wonder...

Oh, I was just having fun. But to answer your question, it is not like I was given access to an LX and an EX-NAV and chose the photograph the LX to make the Pilot look bad. Honda's PR department is the one that decided to release photos of a non-nav vehicle. I have not seen any photos with a nav screen. But if it will make you feel better, if you find one, PM me, and I will substitute it.

That interior kind of bugs me for some reason. The materials don't look very high quality, and the aesthetics are a little...bulbous, if you ask me.

I don't personally know why anyone would consider this over the Acadia, Outlook, or Enclave, to be honest.

The back is so UN traditional Honda. It looks like a Jeep or something! This CUV is awful inside and out. I anxiously await how the market reacts to this thing...
