2006 Honda Pilot

Powered by Honda · 09-04-2005, 05:48 PM

Anyone else have any scans from the 2006 Pilot brochure? I'd be interested to see some more official photos of the '06's. Here are two I found so far:

List of new options/goodies available:

The versatile and popular Honda Pilot has been updated for 2006 with more standard features than ever before.

Unfortunately, the link won't work yet.

ebelp · 09-08-2005, 07:25 AM

Looks plain.

Nishant · 09-08-2005, 09:02 AM

whats with new suv's and big front grills

graveltravel · 09-08-2005, 07:49 PM

what is up with everybody going to ghey azzed "alteza" tailights.
my wife drives an 03 pilot. very very good vehicle. 5 * crash rating all around too.

jetydosa · 09-08-2005, 07:50 PM

Why are all car makers going to the clear tailight design??

DaiJekBok · 09-09-2005, 05:22 AM

My happiness that they revised the center stack outweighs my ambivalence towards the clear taillights. There was something really goofy [in the '05 model] about having a single CD player in the headunit, a 6 disc-changer not too far below and, if you had the RES model, a CD/DVD slot just below that. Glad they cleaned that all up and went to blue illumination.

Or in my case, with the Navi, the cd-changer below the front driver's seat.

The new front end is nice!

Don't like the clear taillights:

I like that XM and the rearview camera come standard on the EX-L's

graveltravel · 09-09-2005, 01:33 PM

well, looks like the overall shape of the tailights are the same as the past models. i would just switch them with the older tailights.

E-lude78 · 09-12-2005, 09:53 PM

um I think I'll wait for the full redesign. IMO I think the front end should have looked even more like the Ridgeline not just squaring off the headlights and grille

TurboSam · 09-13-2005, 03:34 PM

i drove 4 new pilots today. they drive no different whatsoever. the seats are a little different, and the guages look nicer, and the bumpers/lights changed. other than that and you can get 2wd only now, they are the same thing. Honda calls this a "mid-cycle" change. it happens with all models

UA6 BALLER STATUS · 09-14-2005, 08:22 AM

The 06 pilot looks great.

IMHO *ANY* resemblance to the Ridgeline should be avoided!!

Id Hit It

Redline96LX · 09-17-2005, 01:08 AM

As one of the BIGGEST defenders of Honda on the entire planet, me, a guy who hates nissan and loves all Honda ( i worked there for a while) I have this to say:

**** YOU HONDA. What are you thinking? Gross ass Altezza tailights? Thats why my mom has a CRV and not a Altima! Cause its nasty taillamps ruin the whole car. This is a TRUCK with EURO style taillights. There are no trucks in europe cause they dont have the space, and this is not an IS300, so its some cheap imitation with chromed gross tails.

Chrome is for HEADLAMPS, not taillamps.

Four Thumbs Down.

Hey I just noticed the headlamps. ....Tetris anyone?

-NA-aLL-thE-wAy- · 09-17-2005, 09:45 PM

I think it looks much better, except for those tail lights.

CompanyFlow · 09-17-2005, 10:15 PM

What word, Bi, or Polar?

Redline96LX · 09-18-2005, 12:08 AM

If i were to pick a polarity, it would be negative, cause im straight. (is there a logic in that?) Most chicks are bi given enough alchohol, and given enough to drink that Pilot would look okay.
