We had already been planning to buy a new car when my Pilot was damaged by hail. The hail storm just sped up the process for us, though we had already narrowed down our options. It was simply a matter of finding the best deal and Chris did just that. Anyway, it happens that we now have three gray cars in the garage. We upgraded my 2011 Honda Pilot for a 2018 model. I like the sleeker, less boxy design of the newer Pilots.
