just saw one for the first time out on the road. Must say its not as bad as i thought, pretty big size, nice lookin, definitely not a CRV. Kudos Honda

 

I just saw one for the first time today also, looked good. I would take one over an Explorer any day.

 

Watch what you say....have you looked inside and at the sticker?

The Pilot looks--very much--like a larger CRV. Also, when you look at it's twin, the MDX, the Pilot gives you a lot fewer amenities for not much less in price.

I've seen them at 2 Honda dealers in Northern VA. Both dealers are marking them up $3500 above sticker and not budging on price. The EX-L comes in at $35,000. That is no navigation, no sunroof (there are no Pilots being produced with sunroofs this year), and the environment is spartan--compared to the MDX.

For roughly $2,000 more, I'd go with the MDX. Not only do you get an SUV that looks like a luxury SUV, but you get the better warranty, and the better service experience.

 

There is a guy down the street from where I live with a black one and dark grey moldings on the side. He already has tints and LOUD-ASS sound system already. The way his looks, i would get one anyday over most of the mid size suv out there.

 

ive been seeing like 5-10 on the road a day for last few weeks.


craaaazy how fast that thing got popular. i dunno how Honda does it... cuz their not able to do that with Acura.



it looks real good in light colors, im not feeling it in dark colors.

i feel the opposite about the MDX.

 

Better service at Acura ???????????????????????? Not too sure about that either.....

 

Pilot interior looks like ass IMO...

 

yah that makes me want to buy it..i think it is the same line manufacture with acura mdx..if u take a close look at it..they are almost identical....

 

Want to compare ? Just take a gooooooooooood look at our CLS and take a gooooooooood direct front look at the MDX and it look just like a CLS on big wheels and look at the dash, almost identical to the CLS, seats, steering wheel, speedo gauges, air vents, on and on and on.........Am I the only one that see's this ? Perhaps, that is why we will NEVER see a AWD CLS, cause it will HURT THE precious sales of the MDX and TL ! ! Think about it !

 

I know of 2 dlrships in NY that charge MSRP 4 the pilot (all models)...

 

My local dealer has ~5 of them. They are willing to sell for MSRP, and will throw in a backup warning system. Get the LX (MSRP is 27,xxx), and they'll throw in leather too. A Pilot EX with leather is less than 31K, which seems like a deal to me. And I thought the interior was pretty nice as well. I also think the outside looks better than the MDX, but I guess I'm weird that way.
