It's called an Element. It doesn't drive at all like a Pilot or CR-V. It actually drives like a little sports car.

An no, don't want a truck. I need enclose hauling ability like a van. I really wanted to buy a Pilot. But the primary target is clearly Women and kid hauling. Honda needs to build a rugged stripped version of the Pilot. Here is my options list if I could build my own.
NO carpet.
NO DVD
NO Leather
NO third row seat.
removable second row.
Manual transmission.
Rear skid plates.
SUNROOF.
but I do like all the upgraded stereo, HVAC, power seats . . .

Element - drives like a little sports car? Not sure about that, but everyone has their opinion. As for "enclose hauling ability", that's what Snugtop or like is for. You get the best of both worlds. 5 ft enclosed bed plus all the amenities. Btw, I believe unibody SUVs are not as rugged as truck based SUV (i.e. Toyota Forerunner, Nissan Pathfinder) but they don't have the clunkiness either.

Honestly, I don't think you're gonna find anything that meets all your requirements, but how about this...

waynerd · 04-30-2004, 06:05 PM

80honda needs one of these!

waynerd · 04-30-2004, 06:07 PM

Or maybe this?

80honda · 05-04-2004, 02:07 PM

That's is what honda needs to build. A Pilot for the single man.

I want to pull a boat, and I'm hearing more and more that the Pilot would REALLY struggle pulling a boat, especially out of the water and up a hill.
What do you think?
What have you heard?

Search around here. There are some threads just on towing. I have read that most have no trouble at all pulling a boat out, assuming it's within the PILOT towing capacity range.
