Honda Pilot Rebelle Rally
Honda R&D Americas (HRA) associates Ariel Jen and Melanie Morimoto recently completed the Rebelle Rally in this lightly modified 2019 Honda Pilot SUV. The all-women navigation rally runs 1,700 miles and 8-days across the deserts of California and Nevada, with driver and navigator only allowed a compass and a map as their guide. The 2019 Honda Pilot featured a stock drivetrain, using the factory engine, transmission, and i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive system for the duration of the journey. The only modifications made were for additional durability and safety performance, including custom skid plates, extra ground clearance, off-road tires, and an interior modified for additional storage of spare tires and other equipment.

Last night I discovered that the large bin (under the armrests) is lighted. So are the two cup-holders.
I've often forgone the top of the line models - where these amenities are often not installed (focusing on cheap daily drivers while placing my bride in the higher trim levels).

Normal speed from 0 to 70 mph: smooth.
Normal speed from 70 to 0 mph : smooth.
In a traffic where 5 miles ahead there is an accident, and the speed is 0 to 20 to 5 to 30 to 2 back to 0 mph: awful
There is a lot of click sound, esp around 20 mph downshift, as the transmission can't figure out...
