On July 25, Honda gave us a taste of what to expect from the new 2012 Honda Pilot SUV. It might not have been much; but, we'll share with you what we've got. You had best prepare yourself, though. If you're anything like us, it will only leave you wanting more. And, right now, there are no second helpings available.

The most obvious change revealed to date is, by far, the re-styled exterior. Certain to please consumers who found the aesthetic of the 2011 Honda Pilot a little too aggressive, it features softer lines and a far more approachable  presence.

If you liked the way the outgoing Honda Pilot looked, don't worry. The forthcoming 2012 Honda Pilot still has a commanding presence. Only now, instead of just capturing passer-bys' eyes, it has the capacity to hold them. Plus, you have something else to look forward to: improved fuel economy. According to Honda, it will offer better fuel efficiency than any other SUV, offering three rows of seating for eight.

And...that's it.... See, we told you it was a tease. Manly Honda Santa Rosa does, however, expect Honda to offer more details on the updated Pilot SUV, soon. It will, after all, be available starting this fall. So, be sure to stay tuned. Manly Honda Santa Rosa, located at 2750 Corby Ave Santa Rose, CA 95407,is dedicated to keeping you up to date. In the mean time, feel free to explore the current 2011 Honda Pilot. At-a-glance details follow.
