The 2008 Honda Pilot went on sale last week with two new trim levels and prices. Instead of the previous LX base level trim, the Pilot now has two- and four-wheel-drive Value Package trims, or VP. There‘s also a trim level situated above the EX, called SE for Special Edition.
The Value Package has new standard equipment from the 2007 LX, including steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, a six-disc CD changer, additional speakers, XM Satellite Radio, roof rails and body-colored side mirrors, door handles and spoiler. The Special Edition adds a DVD rear entertainment system, XM Satellite Radio, a moonroof and ambient lighting to what is offered on the EX trim. Keep reading for full pricing and new EPA ratings.
