06 honda pilot a lil ricey?

i noticed for 06 the pilot has projector style parking lights and driving light while the turn signal is a chrome coated silvervision bulb to conceal the amber reflection. I also noticed it had chrome tezza tail lights (yes chrome with red circles). comments?

headlights are fine but the tailights are totally lame. It looks like those from ebay and like those copy cat of Lexus.

Simply compare with with Lexus SUV, it will be obvious when is the real starter of altezza.

I don't mind the style. I think the actual shape of the headlights looks weird though. They tried to make it more truck like by making it more vertical.

The 2006 Pilot features boldly redesigned headlights and taillights for dramatic affect.
bwahahaha... I can see the drama.

those headlights look really strange to me. and up close the silver amber bulbs were barely coated so you could still see some orange color. hondas other vehicles are starting to get a ricey look to them too. i guess thats the new style of clear lamps.

IMO i trully think this car is the best looking suv in its class, seriously, the other hot ones are fx35 and 45, and pathfinder armada. i trully believe honda is the best looking though, there's just something about it

The Pilot taillights are rice as hell, and so as the 2005 Toyota Matrix. I dont see the altima as rice though, simply because the model was introduced with the altezza lights, whereas the Pilot and Matrix were introduced with non-altezzas tails and then they switched to altezzas in their mid model freshening. SOrry, dunno what i am talking about myself.

well, it was actually the Toyota Altezza that started it, hence craptezza I mean Altezza tail lights.... then that design went onto the Toyota Harrier, which was the RX300.
