Prototype Honda Pilot Headed to Detroit

Prototype Honda Pilot Headed to Detroit
A prototype of the next-generation Honda Pilot will be unveiled at the January 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, American Honda Motor
Co., Inc., announced today.

The prototype will convey design features of the more boldly-styled,
next-generation Pilot and will emphasize authentic SUV styling, clever
interior packaging and advanced technologies for safety, fuel efficiency
and convenience.

The current-generation Pilot offers versatile eight-passenger seating
and all-weather, medium-duty off-road capabilities while earning a
distinctive reputation in the midsize SUV class for its refined handling
and ride comfort. Among its numerous accolades, the Honda Pilot has earned
Car and Driver magazine's prestigious "5Best Truck" award for six straight
years (2002 thru 2007).

Additional Honda vehicles to be on display at NAIAS include the FCX
Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, introduced at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto
Show, and the CR-Z concept vehicle, introduced at the 40th Tokyo Motor
Show. Limited retail marketing of the FCX Clarity will begin in summer
2008. The CR-Z is a next-generation lightweight sports car concept equipped
with Honda's original gas-electric hybrid system.

I agree it has some Jeep in it but, is that really a good thing in a Honda?

At least (in this drawing) it doesn't look anything like the disastrously designed Ridgeline.

I like the Ridgeline. The side view of it is the only thing that isn't good about it.

Looks like the front end of a Tahoe grafted to the rear of a (Super-Sized) Jeep Liberty...

Much better looking (in this rendering) than the anonymously styled current version, and far better than the silly (Transformer Wannabee/Bloated Infiniti FX)) looking Acura MD-X.

Yes, these are only drawings.

There is definitely some Dodge/Jeep resemblance, though.

I hope Honda can be more creative than this.
