2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite Fact Sheet

The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey seeks to redefine the concept of the minivan with its aggressive stance and sporty "lightning-bolt" beltline. The lightning bolt not only provides an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third-row passengers. New interior features add more convenience for families, while available entertainment technology introduces high-definition connectivity and split-screen viewing. Currently the best-selling minivan in the U.S., the all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey is set to go on sale this fall. Compared to the current Odyssey, the 2011 model's lower roofline (-1.6 inches versus 2010 Odyssey EX) and wider track (+1.4 inches) contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy and also translate into more interior width.

What's wrong with the third side window? It looks like the designer sneezed when he was drawing his lines, just like the one who was responsible for the side windows of the Genesis Coupe

 

[PHYBENZ]

From this view it looks crazy. The doors look like they are separate and coming out. The lines and angles are all over the place.

 

[Shining Star]

It does look a bit too overstyled- the front is too angular, and the side makes it look like they joined two cars together at the break...

 

[NarutoRamen]

I love it! It's a bit weird and funky. And in the Mini-Van world, that's a good think cuz most of the Mini-van's are so DRAB.

Do i cry or do i cry ?

 

[ateekt]

My eyes hurts. Rear-quarter panel design is a result of consuming Ambien dose with an high-carb energy drink!

 

[Sunny]

Haha, it looks like the rear is glued to the rest of the car and about to fall apart the instant someone sneezes.

 

[Merc1]

Oh boy, another ugly, dis-jointed Honda. Chrysler has been hiding the rear track for the sliding door in the rear glass bottom edge for years, why didn't Honda? It looks like a LEGO creation. Can you pull it apart? This thing has to be ordered in a darker color.

The Nissan Quest tried that formula and failed...

 

[martinbo]

Does one buy this van in halves?

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Wholey sh!t... what did they do to it?? Why did they do this...??

The previous generation Odyssey looked very respectable, stylish, but not over the top... this is just a mess. Origami gone wrong!

The Toyota Swagger-wagon now looks the better of the two.

They murdered the concept's potential for a sleek yet imposing look.
