It looks like the first gen Ody they brought to NA. The "mini"van. Very functional with four regular opening doors. Then they replaced it with the big beast.

I guess its the same as the Esteema. They should have made the new Esteema upto emissions and crash standards and shipped it here instead of the previous Sienna.

Default New Odyssey

With this styling and interior, they could easily sell it as an Acura rather than a Honda...but I'm not too thrilled with the Mercedes look-alike gauges or the Nissan Quest-style quirky dash.
Odysseys have traditionally been hard to get and sell for markups...only time will tell if this one does too.

Not a bad looking van but I'd still buy the Toyota equivalent (Tarago/Estima), now that is only ever going to happen if I end up with 6 kids lol. My parent's wouldn't mind that Odyssey but I'm trying to get them into an IS300 lol

I wouldn't mind the third, in black, VIP/MAFIA style, and maybe drop a nice engine with some upwards of 500lb-ft torque, I'd be happy, 315's in the back.. traction, you know, the good stuff.

I drive that bish in GT4 prologue. Pretty fun to throw around. I agree, it's one good looking mini-van.
