When the Pilot launched in 2002 as an ’03 model, it was a little ahead of its time. Back then, trucky, body-on-frame SUVs such as the Ford Explorer were the big sellers, and fuel economy wasn’t in the forefront of anyone’s mind. The Pilot’s innovative beginnings on the Odyssey minivan’s unibody architecture weren’t due to Honda’s superior foresight, however; the company simply didn’t have a body-on-frame platform to start with. So the Pilot launched by default as what is, in today’s vernacular, a crossover.
An intelligently packaged three-row, eight-passenger SUV, the Pilot was lighter and more efficient than the competition, as well as a smooth on-road driver, grabbing the large-SUV award at our annual 5 Best Trucks competition six years in a row.

India’s dream of becoming a global small car hub may not become reality.

Sale of small cars, sedan and luxury cars is increasing in domestic market but lack of incentive for export and continues depreciation of the dollar, is bound to affect the sale of many cars in overseas market.

Japan’s passenger car sales may rise for the first time in two years next fiscal year as new models by Nissan Motor Co. and Daihatsu Motor Co. spur demand in the world’s third-largest auto market.Sales of passenger cars may rise 0.4 percent to 4.43 million vehicles in the business year starting April 1, led by a 1.3 percent gain in minicars, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association said in a release today.
