Default 2008 Honda Pilot??



The Honda Pilot will be looking more like its rich cousin, Acuras MDX, beginning with the 2008 model year.

We caught this 08 Pilot just 90 minutes ago and these are likely the very first images that youll see of the new and sleek-looking Pilot.

Beside the snazzy sheetmetal and unique-to-Pilot grille and lightening features, the 2008 is expected to have a cylinder deactivation system which should help cut fuel costs.

I'm interested to see what Toyota's got in mind with the redesigned 2008 Highlander to combat this.

The Highlander will probably:

1) Substantially bigger, same size as Pilot. Semi-usable 3rd row seat.

2) 269 hp 3.5L GR V6

3) No more 4 cylinder

Acura and Honda SUVs/Trucks definitely need more curves.

I'm not feeling the front grill

Honda better not leave the same J35 engine (w/same spec) in that thing...

Even currently, Its rather something so big doesn't have a V-8 option. I love the Altezzas they have thrown on the revised one

Gotta like how the lights are getting smaller because of projectors but the griles are getting bigger along with bigger emblems!
