It looks bulkier than the prev gen and i thought honda was going to make it sleeker and more streamlined as evidenced by the JDM odyssey and elysion. I guess the american market is still into the "bigger is better" theory.
$34,000 for a mini-van? uggh i don't think many people will be willing to swallow that.
...everything else looks tip top shape, typical honda quality
Boring and bland. Honda needs to be a little more daring if they want to stay on top, They seem to be mainly catering to the old folks these days instead of capitalizing on their racing success.

People are willing to pay more for a dumb SUV'S!!! Atleast this is usefull. I personally think it looks bad ass, yes even for a minivan. These are what 80% of the people who say they need the room of an SUV should drive.

$34K alot? THe top of the line sienna is $38K and a 2004 top of the line chryslerTown and Country topped $40K, althought this year it's been brought down to $35K
And they tried sleek with the original odyssey and the isuzu oasis, the consumers didn't buy it.
Plus IMO the interior looks 10X better than any of the major competion.

the honda odyessey is already on top, even when you compare the current gen vs. other new gens (toyota and nissan), honda still wins. with this new odyessey, i am sure honda will continue to dominate the mini van market.
honda caters to the masses. you want old folks car, look at toyota and buick lol.
