Honda puts "mini" back in minivan
Are you still pining for Honda to come up with replacements for your beloved first generation 1995-98 Odyssey or 1991-97 Accord Wagon?
Do you find today’s Honda’s otherwise excellent Odyssey minivan, well, not mini enough?
If you find yourself saying “yes!” to any of the above, take heart. According to Winding Road, Honda will start shipping its midsize Stream minivan to North America starting in 2009.
Offer it with a manual tranny, and I will trade in the wifes Odyssey without even asking her.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Anyone know what's going on?
I'd also like to know about the 2010 Sienna.
Anyone knows anything about upcoming Odyssey? Or is Honda just watching what Toyota is doing, and then make final decisions?
By the way..hope 2011 odyssey has something new..such as keyless and AFS lights..and universal use vavi system..
Honda will probably just give it a bigger more powerful engine that gets the same mpg and same acceleration because the vehicle gets even fatter. YAWN!
Nothing like the Honda of the last century.
Of course they sell more vehicles now so they must be better cars - SIGH.
Traditionally, these "concepts" have been close to the final product.
I expect a little more hp out of the current engine, perhaps a 6-speed, a new interior with a sea of look-alike buttons like all recent Honda/Acuras (Why, Honda, Why? Can't you order more rotary knobs instead of the buttons?), some more gadgets and iPod interface for stereo, maybe some more tricks (flexibility) with the seats (I doubt the stow'n'go), and slight price increase (although base price may start with a few hundred dollars less).
I also don't expect big changes in exterior design. There's not much you can do with the full-size minivans.
Do not waste your potential.
