^^Holy crap!! Your so right H. But I slept on it last night and its not soo bad. They can tweak a few things and make it look quite nice. I think its the silver thats killing it for most of us.

Friends of mine have a Pilot, they call it The Toaster. These friends are serious car people, both do driving schools and club racing, they think of the Pilot as a toaster because it works but it is not very exciting, it serves a straightforward use and nothing more, it's reliable but visually exciting it is not. To me Honda has continued on the same path with this revised model.

I gess the biggest thing for me with these pics is Honda has this new grille theme working, The Accord, the Odyssey, and now the Pilot.

It's hard to get passionate about a SUV design. Just a truck.

Looks good. I dig it.

It looks like a Nissan Armada and an older Trooper (page 1) had a love-child.

Lol, I fully understand over the past 7+ years that people view cars from a goofy enthusiast standpoint to almost a blind degree but guys.. Were talking a Pilot and people are talking about bland handling and boringness.

Hell yes it is. Its a mid-class SUV. The Pilot is and example of pure function. My wife utilizes it to the most hard core function degree.

She can pack an amazing amount of crap into the back of it for camping. She

Egads, man! I think pictures like this should include a warning.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
