imo every suv/truck honda has come out with has been ugly, the current pilot isnt that bad but i would never buy it, to me nissan is the way to go when it comes to small suvs/trucks for a good price

I may not be in the majority, but it's simply stunning for an SUV. Mainly the interior but the exterior is sharp too.

It looks like a Honda but its not... I don't know, it lacks the WOW effect... The design might grow on me, it might look much better in real life... The more i look at it the more i see the Escape! The interior is great tho... I'm pretty sure it'll grow on me, just like at first when i saw the 8th gen civic pics i couldn't stand it, but then i saw it in real life and u know the rest...

i think Honda is trying to separate it's looks from the Acura lineup on this model... it's just different... that is one badass escape IMO...


seriously tho i don't see escape in it that much...

It looks like an ugly Ford Escape or a bad copy of a Pathfinder.

Gross...let me clean up my vomit.

Ya I have to agree, definitely see some 4runner and Jeep in there. But I guess they have to show some resemblance to get people to buy it. If people look at it and see a resemblance to off-road proven vehicles, they might think of the Pilot as a little more aggressive and off-road capable. It helps the Pilot reach its intended market.

I think it looks terrible. The only reason I would ever consider buying a Pilot would be for the great interior.

The exterior is about the ugliest that it gets in that segment. Almost everything Chevy offers for the competition to this vehicle (Trail Blazer excluded, thanks) looks far more appealing.

Acadia, Outlook, Enclave? Hm...tough call.

Even Honda fans seem to be hating the new Pilot.

Exactly.... there is no originality in its design.... It wants to look like everything else so people will recognize it.

Well at least it's not as ugly as the new CRV. My wife has an 05 pathfinder and there is no way we would consider trading that in for a pilot.
