Production 09 Pilot -- NOOOOOOO!!

[Mr Moonlight]

Hi there. Long time lurker. Hopefully soon-to-be Ridgeline owner. Like many of you, I've been following news about the 2009 Ridgeline with great interest.

Well... Autoblog has images of the production 2009 Pilot. All I can say is: I hope the 09 Ridgeline looks NOTHING like this.

Doesn't look too bad to me. I would prefer a shift lever on the steering column, but our 03 CRV has somewhat the same location and I've gotten used to it. Still a pretty conservative design as is Honda's philosophy IMHO. It'll sell.

Hmmm...look at that shift lever location....I wonder??? I bet that column telescopes

Are those front bumper sensors on each corner?

Yeah, but does it have a "not an ashtray"

There will be blood if there isn't! Seriously though I don't think it looks bad at all. The heck with everyone else I like it.

Other than the grill it could be "Nissan"!!

I like it alot! I'll bet the new RL will look alot like that but the new look will look better on the new Ridgeline than it does on the Pilot.

Ok, here's what the Rl would look like with the 2009 Pilot nose on it:
