The interior looks F150 meets Honda. <br><br>I'm all for maximizing space without bloating, but this Pilot is very uninspired.<br><br>Honda (Acura) styling has been pretty lousy as of late. Hopefully they will keep the reliability up, because they aren't going to sell on looks alone.<br><br>Looks like Mazda further cements itself as king of Japanese design.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Xcountryflyer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2008 3:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</guid><description><![CDATA[ha ha. i agree. that car is supremely ugly! geeze, i thought the exterior was bad, look at those interior pics!

Normally, I try not to judge a vehicle on looks because everyone has different tastes when it comes to styling.   This new Pilot joins the Aztec as a vehicle that does not deserve that courtesy.  The exterior is bad.   The dashboard is horrendous.  <br>  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2008 3:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</guid><description><![CDATA[This makes the Sequoia and that new GLK look better.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Torrent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2008 3:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</guid><description><![CDATA[It just doesn't appear Honda is headed the right direction here.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[why not the LS2LS7?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2008 3:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Like I've said before, Honda knows it will sell because of their reputation.<br>Many people will like the simple clean design.  People that are put off by the fancy styling and chrome bits of the competition.<br>The Explorer was never too fancy (this almost resembles it) and it was the worlds best selling SUV from 1991-2000.<br><br>This will sell, and it will sell decently.  The interior is a huge improvment over the last Pilot.<br><br>Overall, it's not hard on the eyes, it's got a reliable manufacturer building it, and it's practical.<br>It will be all over the burbs before you know it.<br><br>Would I ever take one?

The interior's really the biggest letdown.  I kind of expect that typical Japanese cuteness out of the exterior, but inside it's very un-Honda.  It looks very cheap and the colors are a bit unfriendly to the eyes.  My typical philosophy about cars' interiors and exteriors is that as a driver I'm on the INSIDE not the outside... so outward appearance gets lower regard.  Really a disappointment on the interior, however looks aside I'm sure that on paper it's a fine vehicle and can expect fantastic reliability and such.  It's just a shame it couldn't be more of a looker.  The MDX is a pretty decent looking ?UV, so why couldn't Honda do anything with the Pilot?  Ah well, I'm not really in the market for one anyhow.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MachinaDC5]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2008 5:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</guid><description><![CDATA[not just a step backward. a giant leap. was it designed in the early 80's by the chrysler team and brought back via Honda's new time machine? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2008 5:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yuck.
