That's pretty pimpin but not really what most people in America would call a minivan.

Maybe give it awd and pitch it against the Chrysler Pacifica and other wussie-wagons?

Honda... bring this over, and I guarantee you'll make a sale right here. Man... this is the most kick ass MPV I've ever seen.

I saw on another Honda sight that AWD is an option. The HID headlights also turn with the car, and it has a CVT transmission.:thumbup:

unfortunately...the us spec oddesey will likely be different. the japanese spec is smaller and sportier...but a smaller van won't sell here...everyone here wants more space and less sport in their vans.

Yes, it is common knowledge. The US Odyssey is the Japanese LaGreat. The Japanese Odyssey isn't sold over here.

That car has a REALLY nice interior. I think that could sell well as a niche vehicle here...say, 15-20k a year.

especially after looking at the front end, it looks like it belongs in the acura lineup as a niche vehicle to compete with the pacifica. Doesn't it scream TSX or 04 TL?
