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
• "Honda has definitely stepped up the styling, giving the new Pilot a more chiseled look that helps it seem more like a real SUV than a minivan substitute." -- Orlando Sentinel
• "The squarish design of the Pilot makes it almost seem like a parody of an SUV. The boxy styling is very intentional on the Pilot, and hearkens back to old Toyota Land Cruisers or Land Rovers. The grille does away with any fancy screen work in favor of a simple hexagon." -- CNET
