Texas Hill Country
From the Heart of Texas (Austin), we're happy to join our very own
Texas Pirate board.
We, too, have been wondering why there are no Pilots on the road in our neck of the woods. We have concluded that it must be the result of a limited production line which, so far, only adds to the aura of exclusivity.
An Acura dealer, used that argument to emphasize the excellent residual value enjoyed by MDX (yes, we're still debating, although it seems that the black interior of our favorite Silver MDX provides a final turn-off...). Quite possibly that may be the case with Pilots as well. Although, one never knows, judging by the number of Odyssey vans on the roads around Austin and vicinity...
So, as it stands now, we are expecting our Silver Pirate EX some time in Oct/Nov ~ just like TexPilot. Upon careful consideration and comparisons with other automakers' products (incl. our own 4Runner Ltd), we've decided that this particular leather would be a liability rather that an asset ~ so it's cloth.
Another thing we'd rather not have on our Pilot are Integrity tires, so we're planning on replacing them immediately with Michelin CTs.
I've already touched base with Len and TexasAg through PMs ~ thank you both for your input/advice.
Happy Trails ~
