I just realized something. Wasn't the previous generation Honda Odyssey very similar, and didn't that fail over here in the North American market?

It's cheap as hell too. Pretty much fully loaded for $20,000 with a 5-speed stick.

For all those mommies who love driving manual. :laugh:

I would rock it. Fvck soccermoms. I'd rather have a Mazda 3s Hatch, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a 5-speed Mazda5

Looks nice and all, but same engine as Mazda 3? Talk about sheer engine ownage, good luck lugging 6+ adults on a 2.3 liter, 160hp engine...

The engine is one of the reasons I'm considering it. 160hp isn't bad. My folks Chevy Venture has a 170hp V6 and it pulls just fine. As long as the torque numbers for the 5 are reasonable, it'll be fast enough.

not bad at all IMO
