This is confirmed details on the 3rd Generation Oddyssey redesign.
Model Debut Year: 2004 Fall
Mechanical Changes: V6 3.5-Litre i-VTEC
- Power will be increased to 250 and torque will be 260. Better Fuel Economy due to the addition of Intelligent VTEC configurations.
- AWD drive system, based on the current Honda CR-V.
Appearance Changes: Based on the sketches from Honda, PRETTY WILD STUFF! It still has it's boxy look. The Front has an increased height, Aggressive grill (similar to the TSX) Big Head Lights. Also a Sports version will be available. Other than appearance no mechanical changes for this model.
Feature Changes: 6(sports) 7 and 8 Way seating configurations. Heated-Cooled seats for front and center rows. Power doors will use the belt driven system. LID interior dash lights. HID headlights will be an option. 17' Wheels. Factory equipped Auto-Start sytem. Central Comupter with fuel, temp., mileage etc.. Roll Down windows for all 3 rows. 50/50 split back Magic seat. Dash Mounted Gear Shifter with a Manual Shift Mode option. Power Lift Gate. Auto Climate for All three rows. There are several MINI-VAN FIRST features that are useful, which i cannot release as of now.
So far these are the details that i know. Honda might unveil the concept model in the 2003 New York Auto Show but then Honda always waits until the last minute.

Of course this is all assuming if this comes true.

I'd be astounded if they got 260 lb-ft out of it 
At first I was thinking a 3.5 i-VTEC would be stupid, but the more I think of it...Honda did say that they wanted all their cars to be i-VTEC in a few years.

Dunno why everyone thinks Toyota has nicer interiors? When I see a new Accord and the new Camry I'd pick the Accord any day. The Sienna is pretty nice, but if the Pilot's interior is any indication, I think the Odyssey (it being more family oriented) will be just as nice if not better.

If the Accord's interior have influence on the Odyssey (and it probably will, especially with the LED interior lights), I don't think Honda will have a problem with impressing the public or critic.
And about this 'catch up' thing, both models are 2004 and both side's engineers practically worked on the same development cycle timeline. I don't think any company can make those kind of 'catch up' features you are implying so late into the production design cycle, especially when they have all the pieces and suppliers ready and set for the production factories to ship to dealers about 6 months.

Velf, I definitely prefer the Accord's interior to the Camry's. The Camry's interior is inspired by Buick.

it's seems like it's always ok to doubt honda's but NOT ok to doubt their competitors
