Where are the Pilots? - Honda Pilot

Howdy Ag · 09-19-2002, 12:55 AM

I live in a big city but I must live in the wrong part of town. If it weren't for this board I might doubt whether anyone other than me had ever actually bought a Pilot.

CRV's are crawling around me everywhere, but I have still not seen a single Pilot in the wild. I have a relatively short commute every morning but I have taken a few weekend trips without seeing another Pilot.

Am I the only one for whom it seems there's only one?

P.S. The poll closes in 14 days.

xyzzy · 09-19-2002, 01:03 AM

I see about 1 every 2 weeks.

havasu · 09-19-2002, 07:58 AM

We've only seen two. Since about June 20. Both sightings were in the last 2-3 weeks.

P.S. Make that three. I remember I saw a Starlight Silver in a parking lot a while back. On the street I saw a Taffeta White and a Nighthawk Black Pearl.

I've seen five that I can think of in the past two months. They were all different colors except for two SS's, one with MD plates and one with PA, so I'm not even seeing the same ones twice.

We have seen two in Houston since we bought our car. The first one
was sighted in Pearland (a black EX) and the second one at Veterans Memorial (a SS LX).

macbethderham · 09-19-2002, 09:43 AM

we had seen very few. Three since June, to be exact, and two were on a 400 mile road trip.

Now I see them everywhere, including parked next to me (two in different lots, on the same day!). Now if only I could get mine.

copilot · 09-19-2002, 09:46 AM

on a regular basis. White, black and forest green.

I agree without this forum I'd have to wonder if anyone else was Piloting. Have only seen two in three months.

Same thing happened with my '97 CRV. Easy to find in parking lots for a while but everyone in town who knows you also knows where you are!

VKwalker · 09-19-2002, 10:41 PM

I have seen a silver EX in my neighborhood, a white EX in my office parking garage and a red EX on the highway on the way home.

Silver LX, Houston.

Tony · 09-19-2002, 11:45 PM

I've only seen two on the streets. A Black Pearl in Las Vegas, Nevada and a Havasu Blue in Mesa, Arizona.

a2Pilot · 09-20-2002, 10:25 AM

I've seen other Pilots 3-4 days a week. The most I've seen in one day is 3. This does not count driving by our Honda Dealer!

Mostly Silver or Black. Less frequently Red or Green. I saw my first havasu blue yesterday.

nightpilot · 09-20-2002, 07:39 PM

I've seen 6 Pilots in the last week (San Fernando Valley- Southern California). 4 Silver, 1 Black & 1 Red. I also have 2 neighbors who have Silver ones.

Howdy Ag · 09-23-2002, 05:20 PM

I finally saw another Pilot yesterday, 9/22!

I was in Frosty, my white Pilot, at the time.

I can't change my vote in the poll but wanted everyone to know.

The other Pilot was Redrock. I thought the color looked very good.

I honked and waived. They smiled but did not waive. This was only the second in-the-wild Pilot that my wife had seen.

Looks like you are in the wrong part of the city.
It is just over two weeks since we bought our Pilot and already
seen couple of Pilots.

gopilot · 09-25-2002, 04:19 AM

Live in a small town in B.C Canada, and man.. the only ones I have seen are silver! all dealers will only order silver unless you order one and wait.. I ordered the blue, and it will be in in October.

I have only seen 1 pilot so far in Terrace... but I have a feeling in 2004 there will be at leat 100..

take care
