Saw a touring model 09 Pilot on the road today. Looks great from the rear, like a Nissan Armada. The front grill killed it for me. The truck overall looked larger from the rear than my 07.

As someone else stated in regards to the front grill on the new TSX, the new front face on the 09 Pilot also looks like a clown face!

I don't like the exterior design at all. The interior isn't bad. I'm not an SUV fan, but I'd rate this new Pilot as average at best. I like the Acura MDX and RDX better.

I pray I never see this truck in person, though I know sheep will buy it in droves and it will be the best selling in class.

Although the exterior is 'homely' I think this interior is kind of neat (not luxury, but in a functional sort of way):

I think the interior looks nice except for the shelf thing on the right hand side near the glove compartment, that looks cheap and like something that would be on a GM or Ford, it should go.
