The 2009 Honda Pilot is a crossover SUV that seats nine passengers in a 3-row interior setting. It was first revealed as the Pilot Prototype at the North American Auto Show last March.

The car has a 5-speed automatic communication and is powered by a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6. It is like an enhanced version of the first production Honda Pilot. The engineers at Honda added more passenger and cargo space to the car and it seems to work quite well. The car’s value is just right for the improved power and economy features.

If you’re someone who’s adventurous, then this solid crossover is for you. They may have gone overboard with the detailed styling of the lights and the corrugated fuel filler cap, but there is no rejecting that nothing so practical ever came out so styled.

Honda is rumored to place a new aluminum-block V-8 in the next Honda Acura RL, a 2011 model to be launch in 2010.

The exact configuration is unknown but given the displacement, it is not based on the typical of eight-cylinder engines. Honda engineers take up the V-8 project as they complete work on a V-6 turbo diesel. It isn’t designed just for the European market which has embraced Honda’s 2.2-liter diesel four but also for the U.S. market.
