Honda Pilot, Ridgeline get updated for the 2012 model year

We’re not huge fans of the way the Honda Pilot looks but in terms of utility, reliability and the fact that it can transport 8-passengers, it’s a pretty good bet.

For the 2012 model year, the Honda Pilot gets a “more refined look, improves its comfort and convenience features, and is designed to deliver the highest EPA fuel economy available in a three-row, 8-passenger SUV”

Sales of the 2012 Honda Pilot will start in September 2011.

Honda also announced improvements for the Ridgeline for the 2012 model year. Besides fuel-efficiency the Honda Ridgeline gets a new trim-level called Ridgeline Sport, which adds the following to Ridgeline RT standard features: exclusive black 18-inch alloy wheels, a black honeycomb grille, standard fog lights, black headlight and brake light housings, and black mirrors and door handles. The 2012 Honda Ridgeline goes on sale November 2011.
