There is no way that it will be more than 240hp. Maybe 225, with gobs of torque, but they can't have it out class the luxury model. Unless the MDX will have a 300hp model option this year, and that is not gonna happen either. I bet on 215-235hp, 200-250fp of torque.
We all would like to see a 350hp detuned V-8 of what they run in CART competition, but it's not gonna happen. Honda has a reputation of being a 'green' company, and they aren't going to threaten that image with any one vehicle. You can guarantee that this Pilot will be powerful enough, remarkably sporty, functional, and an LEV, and will rank near the top of every other major automobile ranking you can find. That's the way they do business. |
