March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Proctor Honda in Tallahassee is pleased to confirm that the 2012 Honda Pilot is the recipient of the “Family Car of the Year” Award from Cars.com.

"We're delighted to see the eight-passenger Pilot's versatility and family-friendly attributes recognized with this prestigious award," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning, American Honda Motor Co. "The newly refined and more fuel-efficient Pilot provides real value and surprising sophistication for anyone shopping in the segment."

Honda shoppers in Tallahassee can visit Proctor Honda to see a great selection of this family friendly SUV.

The Pilot SUV received a wide range of upgrades for 2012, including a sleeker front-end design, enhanced interior features and improved fuel economy. Every Pilot is powered by a 250-hp, 3.5-liter, aluminum-alloy, SOHC, 24-valve i-VTEC engine featuring the latest version of Honda’s advanced Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system.

Standard on all Pilot models is Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), which can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power in the event of oversteer or understeer to help regain the driver’s intended path. The system also features a traction control function to help prevent wheelspin during acceleration.
