Default 2005 Pilot Update

I work for Honda and My boss just got back from a Honda meeting with some info. 2005 Updates: Finally a sunroof in EX-L Models, Lit steering wheel controls, smoother shifting while towing (no gear unting!) and 250 HP with the same gas mileage. As I get more info I will post it. Also Honda SUT set for March launch date with 5000 lbs. towing capacity and estimated 17/21 M.P.G.

Hmm. The SUT looks better and better. I see nothing on the 2005 that i'm willing to pay for, I'm also betting that we can get firmware upgrades to the tranny to take care of that problem. Still i'll have to head to a dealer to check it out.


AS for when it will come out? Dunno, but i'm thinking September/November, or whatever the time frame for the 2004 was.

While a sunroof would be cool, I think the lit steering wheel controls would be even cooler.

Thumbs up Can beat Redrock with the saddle interior

Add a sunroof and it is the perfect vehicle.

Thanks, Art

I didn't mean to drift this topic - let's get back to discussing the 2005's. It's just that I can't wait to start shopping!

Howard Cooper Honda here in Ann Arbor.

(Honda President's Award Winner several years in a row now.)

www.howardcooper.com

I've purchased three Hondas from them over the years, and had one Audi serviced there for four years. Great Dealership!

Pardon my drift.

Sometimes procrastinating pays off.
