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.

The seats sounds like a good idea, although I really have to question Honda having a sports model (Odyssey Si? The big brother to the Civic Si?
) The rest sounds good, except the windows? Am I the only one who thinks that would be impossible? With the wheel wells ont both sides and one also having hte gas tank, I don't see how a whole window could possibly fit behind the body panel (unless they only go down like three inches, which is just stupid). I see the doors as having them, but not the third row.

Maybe MDX will get the new iVTEC, and it will come to Honda later. AWD sounds good, but it may ruin the magic seat thing. This is why Dodge doesn't offer a folding flat rear row, and GM does only with a shelf.

... I think they sleep through info sessions with Corporate. That's why they never even have the facts straight, much less the rumors.
lol @ Mike's interjection. :lmao: :lmfao:
Kazi's still the coolest guy around. Give him credit...
it's hard to be anti-Toyota all the time when they're paying everyone and their grandmother off. :bandito:
