    Its so nice you released this video today. I went to my local Honda dealership last Friday and test drove the 2022 Pilot.

      I had a similar experience when I got my 2016 Honda Civic EX. The salesman reassured me that the Civic Hatchback wouldn't be coming anytime soon, so I should get it. I trusted him, because he was honest with me in a previous purchase. A few months later, the 10th gen Civic hatchback arrived to dealer lots.

    This is by far the most excited I've been for a review since we decided it was time for a new car (the old car is going to the kids since they need a beater to learn how to drive!). I like the Kia and the Hyundai and even the Mazda, but I couldn't commit to anything until I could see the 2023 Pilot. And it doesn't disappoint! I'm in no rush, so I can wait until it's available.

    Joe and Lori, y'all are KILLING it. This was great! Thank you so much!
    Love the new body style...much more appealing than the a little too curvy / quasi-minivan days. I was kind of excited about the removable middle seat, but now...I don't think I get it. If the 2nd row Captain's Chairs don't have an arm rest without them, I can't imagine removing it unless I needed to stow something on the floor. But that's fine...that's not a huge thing for me. I like having the captain's chairs with a middle seat if it's needed.
    It looks like a great car...and I've been waiting on buying a new one to see how the redesign turned out. I will now add it to my short list along with Palisade and Telluride. That said, if I had one thing that might make me choose the Palisade or the Telluride over it, it's probably the integration of the instrument cluster and infotainment screen. Seems kind of silly, but it's just that the design is so much more seamless on the Palisade and even elegant on the Telluride. But all in all, very nice job, Honda.

    I have a 2021 Pilot, but definitely this one has all I need for my big family. My sister has a Telluride and even I love the roomier space you can't compare the smooth ride that the Pilot gives you. My only complaint was cargo room and this one solved it. I can't wait to trade for the new 2023.

    Definitely a big upgrade over the previous model. That being said honda can take a cue from the hyundai palisade calligraphy and bring in some luxury touches on the elite trim like rear ventilated seats, premium speakers, a more luxurious cabin with premium materials, body color paint all around, etc. Honda still has a ways to go in keeping up with competitors top premium trims.

    Looks like the most reliable,most practical and most beautiful non luxury 3 row SUV out there.
    I love the fact that one is not forced to get the 7 seat for the top trim unlike other brands that force the captain’s chair on everyone for the top trim
    The Zonk for me are
    - The fake exhaust
    -The fact that the infotainment screen is a 9 inch and not a 12 inch . Not sure why a smaller Accord has a 12 inch infotainment and not this beautiful car.

    Looks really nice! Did I miss lumber adjustment on the passenger seat? Didn’t see the button… might seem small, but that could be a difference maker for us for Elite trim. Also, how does headroom compare with current Pilot/Passport? Expansive cabin space makes current Pilot stand apart. Overall, Honda did a great job. Will be curious what the next Passport will look like and how it slots between this and the CR-V.

I get that high impact areas need the matte plastic, but otherwise chose a material and make it cohesive!
