Re: Early look: 2009 Honda Pilot spotted
I'm not quite convinced that their big-boy SUV design direction was a very smart move, simply because such design is associated with gas guzzler. Maybe Honda can get around that though?

Re: Early look: 2009 Honda Pilot spotted
It just amazes me that people will actually buy this and the new Highlander. The highlander is better than this in my opinion, but it still doesn't have any cohesive design. Just a bunch of shapes thrown onto an SUV.

Re: Early look: 2009 Honda Pilot spotted
Forget this brick on wheels.......Honda needs to take a stand and bring their wagon over from Europe *(check the Asian sub-thread)
This thing screams 'gas-guzzler' worse than any other SUV I've seen (on par with the Escalade) even though it's powered by a V6.

Re: Early look: 2009 Honda Pilot spotted
After over-rounding the CR-V, they have over-squared the Pilot.

Re: Early look: 2009 Honda Pilot spotted
Nothings changed the concept looked lame at NAIAS and it looks even lamer now and I guess the H now stands for Hog because the front does remind me of a pig
