What color choice are folks going for on the new pilot?
What color does new pilot look best in?

Would love Lunar Silver with Brown interior but alas i must go modern steel with brown. Or wait for black edition which will probably be the 2024 "update". I just hate the way chrome looks with anything but Lunar Silver, Black and White. Honda stop with the hodge podge chrome

Diffused Blue gets my vote, it matches perfectly with the Trailsport'ss other exterior tweaks.
For the remaining trims, I think Obsidian Blue looks the best but I would go for either white or silver since they look clean for so much longer.

Not the answer you’re looking for, but I haven’t even seen teasers suggesting the reviews have been or are being conducted. Usually most reviewers give a hint of what’s coming up. I can only speak for those that I tend to follow, though.
i am thinking the same. its kind off odd no? THe pilot is being delviered to customers and dealerships already, but HOnda is holding out? THey are worried reviews will not be favourable?
Other manufacturers host media days etc.
I mentioned this in another topic, but the Kia Telluride refresh hit the lots before Kia had detailed pricing announced and before the website was even updated. No press drives, nothing. This went on for a couple weeks before website was updated. Only reviews posted were done at dealerships.
My guess is supply is low. Sales are guaranteed right now as there aren’t enough vehicles to go around. There isn’t a rush to build word of mouth when you can’t even keep up basic supply.
Also, I’m pretty sure anyone on this forum is not the normal customer. We tend to be a bit more excitable and impatient. Most people aren’t that excited over a new Pilot. Haha

In the last couple years that hasn't been odd at all, especially for Honda. I'm waiting patiently as well.
There is no embargo on YouTube reviews. They can do what they want once they have been delivered to dealers. Supply is low initially so it might be a while before they all have access to a Pilot. There is already one review out there

Feel like these should go in the "Videos" thread
Interesting that THIS EXL (on the first video) comes with HANKOOK DYNAPRO tires. I thought the EXL came with Eagle tires based on another video. He also says the wheels are 20", but they should be 18s if this is an EXL.
Lastly, this car has the cheesy pinstripe with a little Honda H. My gawd
According to the reviewer, if you are ever in the Homosassa area, please look up this dealer too
EDIT - as I keep watching the video, I see this is a Front Wheel Drive Only car, so maybe they put those Hankooks on those 2WDs thinking they are not going to be ice and snow areas
EDIT 2 - wow Love Honda puts a fugly sticker on the back of the car. Also they apparently are one of our friendly dealers who tints the windows for you, for a nominal charge of your first born child
I wish. The Canadian factory has some great quality control
The best color is the color which you like best!
The best color for any car is black.....if it is clean, and white if it is not!

I keep getting black cars too. Look so clean and sharp! Then winter salts come and they look like crap!

Ii is so funny how Americans which I am one hate colored cars. You can see by the poll and parking lots all cars are black, which , gray. I like colored cars and will never buy black white and gray.
I also wonder why our culture does not likes colors. My thought is that Americans do not like risk/attention and buy a color can be risky and stand out.
Another thought is people concern about resale value feeling that you car will sell better if majority of people like the color of your car - black, white, gray. The irony is that since everyone buys those colors the resale value is lower because there are a ton on the used market and that rare red, blue, yellow car has more value.

While I don't like red or yellow on a family SUV, I did vote for Diffused Blue. My next vehicle will likely be a Suburban/Yukon XL base model and I'm hoping the greens they have stick around so I can get one.

Not an American by birth but I live there. I would buy green in a heartbeat if it was available. For pilot I wasn't sure between red and blue. Yellow I would buy only in something like Porsche Cayman or other 2 seaters.

Blue is definitely tricky, I have seen few very good blues and some pretty bad, same goes for red. I like pilot's blue color. My last car was white as I wanted red interior and I have silver car now.
