I've been a happy Pilot owner for nearly five years and recently sold my '03 Pilot EX with 87K miles to my sister. She drives fewer miles than I do and wanted something that handles well in the winter driving. The Pilot is a great vehicle, but I went with the '07 MDX vs. a new Pilot this time for one key reason - interior road noise. I listen to music or do business on my speaker-phone a lot. I always thought the interior noise in the Pilot was excessive. I replaced the original tires with Michelin's long ago, but that didn't seem to help. I've had the MDX for about two weeks and what a difference! It's quiet like a luxury car, but still has most of the utility (folding seats & 4wd) of the Pilot. The styling of the new MDX is a matter of taste, and I like it from all sides. My only gripe so far is the dash surfaces seem to have a static charge that attracts dust!
