I'm not really digging it. Looks so square and like something from 10 years ago. Just my opinion tho.

I just don't understand why, when Honda makes such nice, radical redesigns of the CR-V, Civic, and Accord, that they can't make the hideous Pilot look half-way decent.

There is no reason I would even cross-shop this vehicle with the Acadia, Outlook, or Enclave. None.

I wonder if they're positive those are the ugliest lights they could design.

Mike, you got that right. Why is the Pilot always the poor stepchild alongside its siblings? This front end is just plain gross. What is with some of the Honda styling lately?

Is it just me or do almost all of the Honda prototypes look hideous, and the MDX




Although I have to say I like the FCX

No, it isn't you. Honda is going in the wrong direction although the FCX looks good. I don't know why they feel the need for the funky styling.
