With temperatures across the U.S. hitting record highs, the media has devoted a lot of attention to heat stroke among children left in hot cars, and with good reason. A total of 527 children have died that way since 1998 -- 49 of them in 2010 alone. As we told you back in October, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently began...

While the vast majority of utility vehicles have grown smooth, rakish, and overtly aerodynamic on the outside, the Honda Pilot stands apart. It's one of relatively few models on the market today that preserves the old two-box design that once separated SUVs from sedans and vans. And while the Pilot might look from a distance like one of those...
