Honda Pilot Prototype Louisiana

Due in spring, the 2009 Pilot will use a modified version of the Acura MDX platform. It will continue to seat 8 with front captain's chairs and 60/40-split folding second- and third-row seats. Dimensions haven't been released, but Honda says passenger room will be improved in every seating position.

Introduction
Honda entered the midsize SUV market in 2002 with the 2003 Pilot. With seating for 8 and a car-based platform that provided a smooth ride and decent handling, the Pilot became an immediate success and sales topped out at more than 150,000 units in the United States in 2006.

At the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Honda showed the close-to-production-ready 2009 Honda Pilot Prototype, a vehicle that maintains the Pilot's proven formula but adds more room, a revised cylinder deactivation system, new safety features, and fresh styling inside and out.

Due in spring, the 2009 Pilot will use a modified version of the Acura MDX platform. It will continue to seat 8 with front captain's chairs and 60/40-split folding second- and third-row seats. Dimensions haven't been released, but Honda says passenger room will be improved in every seating position, the second row will slide further forward, and the third row will have enough knee room for an above-average-sized adult male to fit comfortably. The rear two seating rows will fold flat to create a larger rear cargo area than the current model's 87.6 cubic feet. V-6 power will return, as will FWD and AWD.

The engine is a relatively compact 4-cylinder at 2.2 liters, but it's expected to produce around 150 hp, and the torque which is what you feel when you take off from a stop should be more than 250 lb.-ft. Fuel economy should be in the range now achieved by Honda's hybrid Civic.
