Honda Pilot
Honda's Pilot sports utility vehicle moved into second gear at all levels for 2009. A more rigid chassis insures better road handling, while the body gets a more stylized profile, though it retains its angular lines. Inside, versatility is still at hand. The redesigned dashboard announces improved ergonomics. The venerable 3.5-litre V6 engine gets an increased power output, to 250 horsepower. It is still possible to lock the rear differential to negotiate tougher trail sections.
