2012 Honda Pilot refined inside and out

Boasting a slight makeover, the 2012 Honda Pilot is ready for showroom floors with a sleeker exterior, an upgraded interior and slightly better fuel efficiency, according to Honda.

All trim levels have acoustic windshield glass, which was previously exclusive to the EX-L and Touring models.
