Well those are about as accurate as any other predictions!

no I know for fact...a dealer told me

My dealer tells me Honda Reps have been hinting at the long rumored V8, but from the most recent thread it looks like a 3.8l V6

Pilot will be freshened for 2006. The changes won't be major, but Honda says they will include the mileage-boosting cylinder-deactivation feature already offered on the Odyssey minivan, which uses the same basic V6. In addition, all '06 Pilots are likely to add no-cost curtain side airbags and perhaps the antiskid system now restricted to top-line versions. This would be in line with Honda's new policy of making such features standard for most all Honda/Acura models by 2007.

A fully redesigned Pilot is apparently on tap for 2008, with a new 3.8-liter V6 likely. Other components and even some body/chassis structure could come from Honda's new 2006 Ridgeline pickup.

I'd still go with the Pilot.

With one baby the Pilot's just right.
With two ( in the future ) maybe still the Pilot.
With three ( in the far future) probably a mini-van ( Odyssey)

We'll have to wait and see what happens when the Pilot dies...

If I were buying now, I would lean towards an Toyota 4Runner.

Not sure about replacing the Pilot at this point, however, our Subaru will be replaced in the next 1-3 years. Here are the frontrunners:

rx330
RDX
B9X

Of course the Ody will still be considered as well.

Lessee, I kept my '80 Chevy pickup for 8 years (bought it 2 years old), and I kept my '90 Toyota pickup for over 6 years, and then the '97 Exploder for 7-1/2 years. I figure the Pilot will be due for replacing around '11 or '12..who knows what they'll have then! I sure like my Pilot now, though.

Something a bit bigger...probably a Toyota Sequoia.

Yep - all true EXCEPT for the part about the wings.
