*Bush Sr voice* Pilot? Not gonna do it... wouldn't be prudent.

Seems too effeminate a "car"... too minivan-like.

Cool, like the Mini Cooper S myself. Alas, there are no dealerships close around here and im too lazy to drive down anywhere just to look. Then again, I would worry about having someone in the back seats of that car....if anything hits the rear, they are gone.

If Brandon were a GOOD SON, he would have talked his father into ditching the Highlander and buying a pimp'd out Pilot already but NOOOOOOOOOOOO ...

:D

Bah, if anything he'd be pimpin' a '03 4-Runner with the 4.7L V8 which would totally own the Pilot :D

But I'm sure the comforts/cargo space of the Pilot would better suit his needs rather than the better off road capable 4Runner with it's up/downhill traction control gadgets.

You have just been owned AGAIN!

Not when the Pilot has a waiting list 3-4 months long and dealer markups of about $2,000 - $3,000. Also, the 4-Runner rides very smoothly even comparable to the Highlander (but not quite as plush). Also, he could get a better deal at the Toyota place with his Highlander as a trade in.

OWNAGE!!! :D

I wouldn't necessarily rate your last post as OWNAGE level - let's just say that we're even!

(but secretly we all know that the impossible has happened, Brandon has been owned!!!)

Family just purchased two Pilots in the past month - parents bought one and one of my uncles bought one. No waiting list for them, they just walked right in and got it. Did pay a little over sticker, though I don't think it was more than 1k. They managed to shop around and get the dealers in the area to undercut each other a bit. I drove my mom's Pilot around when I went to visit her last week - I'm not a big fan of SUVs in general but it's pretty nice for what it is.

Oh yeah. Brandon - FYI. My dealer has been selling Pilot's for several months now. No waiting list.

I dont know if American Honda made an Automatic Dealer Markup, but knowing the dealer they probably wouldnt take less than sticker.

Owned by what? I saw no ownage. Why would my dad buy a Pilot (or even a 4-Runner for that matter) when his Highlander Limited only has 8,700 miles on it and is just over a year old?

Ownage, I think not :D
