Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The redesigned Pilot's all-new exterior brings out mixed reviews. Some appreciate its more truck-like appearance, while others find it too boxy.

  • "The new Pilot gets a bolder front end -- anything is bolder than the current wallflower -- that doesn't look as awkward in person as it does in some of the photos." -- Car and Driver
  • "The 2009 Honda Pilot tries hard to look more like a utility and less like a minivan. It has a cleaned-up boxlike profile (you'll want to reference the Ford Explorer) that looks bluff and hearty, like an American wearing a simple white T-shirt." -- Edmunds
  • "Pilot's big, ugly grille -- a visual sore point -- is less garish if you pick a slate or sliver vehicle." -- USA Today
  • "The Pilot is still boxy-looking (and, to my eye, stodgy)." -- BusinessWeek
