Anyone have a 2012 Pilot Touring on order?

[JulieWi]

I do!!!
Just curious what you ordered and when they expect them.
I ordered a 2012 Pilot Touring 4WD in White Diamond Pearl with gray interior. Can't wait! They estimate first 2 weeks of December but I am not holding my breath.
Did I dream this or did I read something about about a flood at a Honda manufacturer in the south?
Hoping these weeks fly by.....

2012 Pilot Touring

4WD

in White Diamond Pearl with gray interior also. Dealer stated mid December so yes, I can't wait either. I haven't been in the car market for awhile so it has been some time since I had this "can't wait" feeling. Hopefully, they will give me a fair trade in for my 2006 Toyota 4Runner Sport.

Honda production has slowed due to flooding in Thailand. Article

I have a polished metal/black touring that my dealer ordered for me. They said it would be in around Dec/Jan....They were trying to locate me one for the past 2 months with no luck as none are around so they ordered one.

I ordered my White diamond pearl gray interior back in septumber got it on oct 25, GORGEOUS!!!! These pictures were taken first day I got it, I made some adjustment to the pilot after the pictures were taken. I believe there are only two of these in the whole state of mass until late dec.

Ordered back in September, picked it up yesterday. Amber with beige. First impressions are that it is a MUCH improved vehicle from the 2011

I ordered my Touring (Dark Cherry 2 w/ Black ) on Sept.26th and received it on Nov. 10th. Really enjoying it!!

nice Edguzman01. which step bars are those? I was debating on getting the lighted ones but what you have look nice also. I wasn't sure if the lighted one will be as strong as the other ones.

Everyone says it's improved over the last, but never states why. I drove the 2012 and didn't find anything as to fit the claims of the overhyped differences. The tires are the lone cause of the biggest change in ride, and even that is not something that can actually be differentiated between the two because it's just a tire. I couldn't tell if it was more quiet , smoother, or anything. The only thing I liked is the center console.

This is my first pilot and after I test drove both the '11 and '12, I thought that the '12 was quieter and I liked the new grill over the old, the center console losing some of the buttons, so I went with the '12. Good Luck Julie with the purchase, you'll love it! Mine came two days after the date, but I was happy after it did arrive.

Exactly the same for us Polished Metal/Black int. 4WD Touring, we haven't been given a time frame on it yet but they've found nothing available via dealer locates or shipment redirects. I had hoped to get ours before Christmas but that hope is fading fast.

These are the premium running boards these are the new model they come chrome instead of the brush aluminum from last year. They go good the the tourings chrome trim.

+1. Difference in tires will make a whole lot better/worse in handling, ride and fuel economy. Other than that Honda has to change something, be it in looks or anything, in order to distinguished it's a 'refreshed' model to gain market share.

I checked out a '12 black touring today on the school parking lot which was beside me and the biggest significant improvement I see is the NAV/backup camera and the center console. I may be the only one here liking the cluttered previous center console because I truly feel I'm driving a plane . The '12 owner was asking where in the world I got my Ruskie taillights and lighted step boards. I just told her to go online and read on Piloteers.org

Update on our '12 Touring on order, we have been told it should ship from the factory November 30th plus another 2-3 weeks for it to arrive at our local dealer so we might have it by Christmas if all goes smoothly. Fingers crossed.
