what will be the size of the car ? Is it gonna be about the size of ford EXPLODER ?

looks to be the size of a ford escape... not a mini ute like a crv, but not as big as a trailblazer.

Escape and CRV are in the same class. They are more like crossover vehicles. i think it will go for the exploder

the honda pilot is pretty much the same size as the Acura MDX...its built on the same platform as the MDX, which got the platform from the Odyssey (to what i was told/read)
