Honda Announces 2008 Pilot SUV Prices

The 2008 Honda Pilot goes on sale today, introducing two new variations to the lineup, American Honda Motor Co., Inc, announced today.

The all-new Pilot Value Package and Special Edition trims debut, building on accomplished trims with popular feature content. As with previous Honda Value Package and Special Edition trim levels, these added features represent a significant value without a significant price increase.

The Value Package and Special Edition start at $27,595 and $31,595, respectively. Destination and handling charges for all 2008 Honda models are $595.

"The Pilot was a conceptual pioneer within its segment when it was introduced," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "And it continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of customers."

For the first time in its six years on the market, the Pilot is available in two new trim levels, the Value Package and the Special Edition.

The Value Package builds on and replaces 2007's value-leading LX trim, adding rear privacy glass, machined alloy wheels, XM® Satellite Radio, upgraded audio to include a 6-disc CD changer and additional speakers, roof rails, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, and body-colored door mirrors, door handles and rear spoiler.

The Special Edition supplements the available EX trim, adding in-demand features like a DVD rear entertainment system, XM® Satellite Radio, power moonroof, 115-volt power outlet and ambient console lighting.

Isn't it more expensive than the new Highlander?

Highlander used to be much smaller than Pilot. With the new Highlander, the dimensions are almost on par. Good for customers to cross-shop. I believe $$ for $$, Pilot is a better value in term of features. Toyota always has lots of options. They add up $$$ very quickly. I am more interested in the 2009 Pilot, which is going to be larger, reaching (+/-)200in (close to the sizes of Outlook and Mazda CX9). Both Pilot and new Highlander are about 189in in length.

The Pilot needs a redesign soon. It looks so stale.
