Default MMC for 2014 Honda Odyssey
a lot of goodies coming for the 2014 Odyssey, other than the usual tech, visual refreshes, these two caught my eyes:

all models getting 6AT (big enough deal for Honda shoppers)
Earth Dreams V6 in all models

IMO, Odyssey is always a class higher than Sienna (no offense to Toyota) due to the better quality interior and safety features, but the powertrains on the Odysseys are really outdated, with this MMC, i can see it moves easily above Sienna.

EarthDreams 3.5L V6 would be nice. I doubt it'll be the hopped up 310hp one though. Probably detuned

Best thing I could say about Honda is their van commericals. Still pissed that Judas Priest sold out to them though:

it'll be the Accord V6 version, without DI. it makes sense, who would want a 300+hp fwd mini van?
