Regardless of how you think it looks, the newest crossover from Honda is a pretty darn good vehicle. So, we're rather happy to report that Honda saw fit to hold the line on pricing compared to its previous-generation 2008 Pilot. Starting at $27,595, plus destination and handling, the base model Pilot for '09 starts off at exactly the same point of entry as the 2008 edition. Next up is the Pilot EX at $30,395, while the leather-equipped Pilot EX-L will run you $33,595. At the top, the new Pilot Touring edition, which includes standard navigation, starts at $36,795. Four-wheel-drive adds $1,600 to the price of any trim and takes a small bite out of EPA fuel economy with the Pilot coming in at 17/23 (19 combined) miles per gallon on two-wheel-drive models and 16/22 (18 combined) miles per gallon on four-wheel-drive models.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-dr-five-2009-ho-nda-pilot">First Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-dr-five-2009-ho-nda-pilot/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/2009-pilot-first-drive-1280-07_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-dr-five-2009-ho-nda-pilot/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/2009-pilot-first-drive-1280-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-dr-five-2009-ho-nda-pilot/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/2009-pilot-first-drive-1280-06_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-dr-five-2009-ho-nda-pilot/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/2009-pilot-first-drive-1280-13_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-dr-five-2009-ho-nda-pilot/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/2009-pilot-first-drive-1280-08_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: Honda]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/2009-honda-pilot-holds-the-line-on-pricing/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2009 Honda Pilot holds the line on pricing</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/2009-honda-pilot-holds-the-line-on-pricing/">2009 Honda Pilot holds the line on pricing</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 21 May 2008 13:58:00 EST.
