What Changed for 2008:

• New Value Package (VP) model replaces entry-level LX


• VP has more standard equipment than the 2007 LX model


• New Special Edition (SE) model fits in between EX and EX-L

The Pilot is Honda's answer to the big SUV, a large vehicle using car-like unit body construction in place of its rivals' truck-like body-on-frame architecture. (Other big SUVs, including the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook and Mazda CX-9, are now starting to follow the Pilot's lead.) First introduced for the 2003 model year, the Pilot enters its sixth year in 2008 with two new trim models, the Pilot VP and the Pilot SE.
