It would be very nice (and I would be happy to pay for) the optional power of a 6-cylinder engine. Provided a little more structural rigidity and fun would be more than just the way it looks...

That's why we have the Honda pilot :D

I don't think the E will ever be a six.

The Pilot is very nice, but like the E better more basic, raw, etc....less luxury. That being said I too would have payed extra for a 6 cyl. I little more get up and go can go a long way!

I think the four is just right for this car. Yes, it works a bit at legal plus highway speeds, but this is a car built to a price - and nicely done. I imagine there are some who wish for leather seats and plush carpet.

I second the OPTIONAL V-6. Then you can have it both ways. The Accord V-6 comes to mind. Also beefing it up is a mandatory. Less than 700 lbs carrying capabity for a rig that has that much interior space is just a big tease.

And I think someone who want an Element, does NOT want a Pilot. If the smaller size was okay, they would have bought a CRV (it's smaller sibling).

This truck would do pretty well with a V-6, but with gas prices as they are, i like the fuel economy of the 4-cyl

And if I could the 6 speed I'd be even happier.

Really, I like the 4, and would not want a six, but would love one more taller gear...

I think the 5 speed automatic from the Accord would be an easy quick fix for Honda. Better economy and performance!
