Hello everyone...and congrats to anyone who has ordered or received their new 2004.
If anyone out there has pictures of a 2004 Midnight Blue, I'd LOVE to see them. I realize that the blue is also on Honda vans, etc., but I just need to see it on the Pilot. I'm very anxious...and considering purchasing. The honda website was no help to me. The blue on the website is not the same color on the car.
Unfortunately, our dealers in upstate NY won't have them in for another month...and god only knows when the new blue will come in. So any pictures I would appreciate, as I'm sure everyone else would. Thanks everyone!!

I went to an Acura dealership and looked at the Midnight Blue on an MDX. I had seen several attempts to dup the color here on this forum and they were all different, not even close to the real thing. I would suggest looking at the MDX...at least it's an SUV and a Honda/Acura product. I was able to envision what the Pilot would look like when I did this. The salesman I talked to pointed out the "pearl" effect which I hadn't even thought about previously. Sold me!!! :2:
The 2004 Pilot brochure has a picture of the Midnight Blue. You can download it in PDF format from the Honda site or your local dealer should have one.
Thanks everyone for your help. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pics anyone can take. I really think the blue is the one for me.
Now...the next trick is to get a good price (even $100 off msrp. would make me happy). My dealer NEVER has moved on sticker price and I was in twice for the 2003 Pilot.
The second hurdle I have to get over is selling my 98 CRV (blue)...almost in mint condit., with 46,000 miles on it. I WILL NOT TRADE IT IN!!!! WILL NOT....!!!! They will offer me way below what it's worth on trade...blue book! $9000 if that. ANYONE WANNA BUY IT IN UPSTATE NY?? HA HA!
Well, thanks for listening to me ramble...and thanks in advance for any digital pics. Take care.
My dealer told me he would give me at least $6,500 on my 1997 CR-V with 120,000 miles on it. Blue book is a little over $7,000 if I sell it myself. Of course the dealer has been servicing my CR-V for the last two years and knows it's condition. You never know...might surprise you. :1:
If you will look in the brochure from last year, you will notice that that picture is the same as one of a Green pilot.
There is such a thing as color changing software to change the color of an image!

Picked up our MBP on Friday. Unfortunately, it's been raining
all weekend, so no good pics! The blue is very dark and the dealer referred to it as almost "ink" color. He told us in error one day as he pointed to an accord that it was "that color" (Eternal Blue Pearl) which would have been nicer, as it is a little lighter. Blue still looks great as it glistens in the sun!

My Midnight Blue Pearl is coming in 2 weeks- after I saw one that was at one dealer ( already sold) I couldn't settle for any other color no matter availability- I ended up getting $500 under MSRP- though- like you- no dealers initially wouldn't budge- Try DirectCars.com. If there is a dealer near you who is a member- you will be able to get it at least $300 under MSRP- that kinda opens up the negotiations w/ other dealers. I do happen to know that dealer in New Hampshire has an EXL-RES in MBP on the lot if they didn't sell it this weekend- it had my name on it until Friday- didn't really want RES if I could get one also $500 under w/o it in next few weeks- which I did. Private msg me if you want Info!
Good Luck!
Gotta say, that I, too love this color most. Even when I bought my silver back in January, I knew this color was first choice even if I was only imagining it. I'm envious, and happy for all of you MBP owners! Congrats on your gorgeous blue ladies

I know... salesman was sloppy on a few things he told us that weren't accurate. If there were more Pilots around (esp. MBP), then maybe could have been in a better position, but they didn't deal much, only on some accessories and warranty etc. The MBP is still a really nice color.
This forum has been a great resource. Nice to be able to go into the showroom and have more answers than most of these dealers who don't seem be that informed.
