So the Pilot is making this strange noise and ...
Long story short, our 2003 Pilot with 294k miles is making some rotational noises and probably has a bad bearing in the gearbox somewhere so
wife got a 2017 CRV EX-L AWD this morning.

Very nice!! My parents are in the process of getting a EXL CRV as well. I was with them when we went for a testdrive and honestly I was very surprised by the ride, interior and the tech. My mom has a fully loaded '17 RDX and the EXL has a nicer interior and better tech lol.. Back then the CRV they looked at actually had a $2k "marked adjustment" added onto the price due to the demand.

It was $29,259 (CRV/freight) + $279 (reg/plates) + $1756 (state tax) = $31294 out the door.
My parents just bought a 2016 CRV last November (I'll have to write that up as well some time), and there's a large difference in materials, ride/comfort and infotainment.
We took a test drive a couple weeks ago and I was pretty blown away on how nice the 5G CRV was, the basic shape didn't change much but fit/finish, materials, features/functions, and was very quiet (something even the 2016 was not good in).
Yeah, I always liked the CRV as it evolved and while we were considering a 2017 Pilot, but couldn't justify the size/ 8 person seating with both of daughters out of the house.
A test drive between the CRV and Pilot convinced us. I thought I wouldn't like the CVT but it works very well.
Thx, it's a little more aggressive looking than the 4G. I was really impressed on our test drive with all the safety features, infotainment, and interior materials/quality.
Have only driven it a few miles, but I like the low end torque alot (something new for Honda/Acura ).
The turbo is pretty quiet and unobtrusive in operation.
Definitely worth looking at, I'm a Honda fanboy but I do like Toyota's and Subaru's.

Soooo, I tried out semi-automated driving with LKAS and ACC
I haven't driven the CRV (wife's car) until last Saturday night while driving back from PA.
So I decided to try out the LKAS (Lane Keep Assist System) and ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) for 50 miles driving with light traffic on Rt. 83 (highway).
The symbols for the systems are under the redline area of the tach. You can see the lanes, LKAS, ACC, and vehicle symbols.
In short as long as there are lines on the road and the wipers are not on (that cancels the LKAS), the CRV literally drives itself.
I had to keep my hands loosely on the steering wheel but LKAS steered itself very well staying in the middle of the land.
ACC also kept the distance to the vehicle in front to a minimum (there are four ranges ~80' to ~200'). It also controlled the cruise speed if we came upon a slower vehicle.
Pretty surreal and strange, I've never driven a Tesla and their system lets you take your hands off the steering wheel.
LKAS gives a visual message on the multi-function drivers display if you take both hands off the wheel for more than a moment.
Also to change lanes, you have to use the turn signals.
Also have gotten use to electric power steering which is close to Honda hydraulic feel. The CVT is also very easy to forget it's a CVT.
The turbo is also pretty quiet with no real lag, but also no bif power surge either. Getting ~33MPG on the highway which is pretty good for <1k miles so far on the motor.
Still trying to understand all the infotainment systems.
Have to do a quick write-up for Apple CarPlay which also works very well.
Anyway, all is very good with the 2017 CRV, Honda did a great execution with the integration of alot of new systems.

Nope, the only NSX gets it. However 5 Honda models have AppleCarPlay.

It's not as automated as a Tesla where you can have your hands off the wheel (a warning message comes up on the driver display) but I didn't steer when I had my hands on the wheel.
It's surreal and weird but kind cool too. Definitely makes driving easier on the highway in light traffic.

^ idk, but I'm guessing if the steering wheel torque sensor has no load for some time period, then it alerts the S/W.

Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) provides a less stressful driving experience by reducing the need for steering correction movements and driving effort on the highway. LKAS uses a camera to read lane markings and uses Electric Power Steering (EPS) to assist the driver in maintaining their position within the lane.
Designed for the U.S. road structure, the system uses a monocular camera mounted on the upper portion of the windshield to identify painted lanes, Botts' dots and cats eye markers at speeds between 45 mph and 90 mph. When LKAS senses that the driver is drifting from the middle of a detected lane, the system generates corrective steering torque to assist the driver in maintaining lane position.
LKAS may be activated and deactivated using a switch located on the right side of the steering wheel. The system will suspend operation after several seconds if the driver either takes his or her hands off the wheel or does not grip the wheel strongly enough. Operation suspension is accompanied by a visual warning and corresponding vibration/oscillation of the steering wheel, resuming when the driver makes a steering input.

Here's a few of the displays showing the menu's and configurations.
Wanna reset your trip A odometer when you refuel?
Wanna turn your tach on or off?
There's a menu for that, and settable for driver 1 or 2 FOB.
Still haven't gotten through it all but it's kinda overwheaming to say the least.
Honda really stepped up their game from their previous generation infotainment system.
I'll have to drive it some more and do a writeup on the driving experience.

Pilot strange noise problem solved, not only a bad wheel bearing but the bearing seized and damaged the wheel hub as well.
My suspicion is when this bearing was it was replaced at ~270k miles 15 months ago the tech didn't press it in or the replacement bearing was defective since it only lasted 20k miles.
Pressed in a new bearing with a new wheel hub, reassembled and back in working order
No where near as nice as the wife's new CRV but the 2003 Pilot will be our city vehicle, haul the bicycles and dog around.
