It looks like an MPV mated with a Windstar.

I preferred the look of the old Odyssey better.

I think they designed it this boring to preserve the resale values of current generation Odysseys. Which is a nice thing of them to do in terms of loyalty to the existing owners, but also results in another typically bland Honda car. I think the interior of the Sienna is much more luxurious and organic than the Odyssey.

Wow, almost looks like Honda stole the headlights off a Lexus LS! What is this Active Noise Control they speak of...sounds like Bose headphone technology but for the whole car?

Peak torque is produced at different RPMs.

if it's true, it has more power than an s2000 :Q

Kind of ironic?

Big deal. Its like saying the Nissan Armada has more HP than the 350Z.

Its a bigger vehicle. What do you expect?

WTF is he talking about? The MDX is visually UNCHANGED in 2005!! They won't be releasing an all-new model until 2006/2007 (after the RDX comes out.)

edit: methinks if he's seen pics, its of the new RDX and not the MDX.

The i-VTEC has the torque come in at a lower RPM. Also the i-VTEC models get greater gas mileage due ot the Variable Cylinder Management which deactivates cylinders when there's no load.

It's already being used on Accords in other markets (Japan, India, etc..).

true, but I wasn't expecting a honda minivan to have a more powerful engine than an s2000, that's all I'm saying, nothing else

More powerful is an understatement. Try putting the S2000's engine in the Odyssey and sit back and enjoy the show :D
