@ChickenC0re WHY!? I think it's awesome!

[SuperMattMuah]

If Honda were to make a hybrid version of this vehicle, it would probably sell more. That fuel economy is dismal, especially when compared to the highlander's 19/26. This should really be more fuel efficient.

@jonah102973 Most of the profit from this vehicle goes to a Japanese company in Japan.

@ChickenC0re These pilots are made in America by Americans...

@bluestreak117 I see 10 Ford Explorers to every Pilot on the road. The Pilot is one of Honda's worst selling models today.

@ChickenC0re From what i see on the road day to day:)

@bluestreak117 Where did you get your sales information?

[bluestreak117]

@ChickenC0re Well honda sells more pilots than most american SUVs, so they do have business making SUVs.

Plus there is always that reliability factor that always comes with honda.
