I don't get the Honda mentality. I can understand why one would buy an S2000, NSX or anything with a Type-R badge on it. But I just don't get how someone thinks a mediocre car like the Pilot is hot. Personally, I think it sucks, it looks bland and boring, it doesn't break ground in any way, and worst of all, it's a wannabe-truck. Sure it seats 7, but I'd way rather have a Subaru Forrester or a Toyota Highlander than that thing. Hell, even a Chevy Trailblazer is more desirable than that car, for it's 4l inline 6 engine alone.

The Toyota to compare the Honda Pilot to is the Highlander, not the RAV4.

Why not take a look at the new Toyota Rav4s...They handle just as well as the new Toyota Celicas, have good braking distance as some sports cars, and and has the coolest looking interior...Check this link for pictures

airgate, don't give up on the Pilot already. Make sure u see one in person before u decide. Pictures can be deceiving.
it looks a little generic, but remember that Honda wanted some family resemblence with the CRV. Honda is hoping that people who wanted a SUV larger than a CRV would buy the Pilot. besides, u didn't really believe that honda would sell a MDX with a $5k discount and make it nicer than a 'X.

Yep, you're right. If I want to go offroad, I'll buy a used CJ-7 or Landcruiser, but today's SUV's are basically useless offroad. If you're staying on the road, a WRX station wagon will outhandle 100% of the SUV's out there, will travel on every single road an SUV can, and will actually go some places that a stock truck can't (I've seen a stock WRX climb Oldsmobile Hill - most V8 trucks don't make it), and I don't have to worry about it flipping over if a tire blows. All in all, SUV's are pretty useless vehicles. I know, we own one.

lets not forget all the xtra fuel just to get them going,
useless except for the worker that is how I see it.
If you really need it, then buy it, if you are a mother
that can't drive and thinks she is secure in an suv, please
forget the idea buy a car that won't kill other people when you
ram them, lol
