2009 Pilot - On Hondas Web Site

[Tcape]

Hmmm....I've always been a fan of dark colors (my RL is black), but the lighter colors seem to look better on the Pilot. Eye of the beholder stuff, I guess. And as far as styling, the Pilot looks OK. Not great, but OK. Which is what Honda often shoots for. Don't offend anyone with the styling....make sure it has Honda quality and reliability....the thing will sell. The Pilot front end on a Ridgeline wouldn't look any better...or any worse...than the current front end. It'll be interesting to see what changes Honda makes with the RL for '09. I don't expect it to be a great deal different.

I'm convinced the design team of the 09 pilot is blind. It will sell, but not as well as it would have if the CRV voices would have been heard. Most of the time Honda gets it right, sometimes they miss and when they do, they miss badly. The missed the design mark on the 09 Pilot, I'm afraid they will do the same thing on the 09 RL.

I have to disagree with you.. I think they hit the 09 pilot on the head.. I will be trying to talk the wife into getting one sometime around 2010, 2011

I prefer a nice metallic blue, but that blue pearl has some potential... Can't really tell until I see it in person.....

From what I hear, FL is probably cooler then up there... Only two more days......

At least I have Monday off ... Too bad you don't, we could have put on those side protectors...

We ended up getting it off...but the Ridge is in tough shape....
