2011 Honda Odyssey - Click above for image gallery
The current
Honda Odyssey is widely considered to be the best of its breed, but let's face facts: it's old.
Toyota has upped its game with the new
Sienna;
Nissan is on hiatus, preparing to spring an
all-new Quest, and
Chrysler continues to do its thing with the
Town & Country and
Dodge Grand Caravan. Oh, there's also the
Volkswagen Routan, but no one'll hold it against you for forgetting it exists.
Anyway, Honda's readying the next-gen
Odyssey for release sometime later this year. We've already gotten a near-production preview in the form of the "concept" version presently sitting on the floor at the
New York Auto Show, and thanks to reader Bernardo Roque, we've got a few new spy shots of the next-gen van out testing in Las Vegas. One photo gives a peek at the interior via the open driver's door and tailgate, but it's still too far away to see anything in useful detail. What
is obvious is that this thing is otherwise fundamentally identical to the so-called
Odyssey Concept.
We'll go out on a limb and guess that the 2011 Honda Odyssey is roomier, more powerful and/or more fuel-efficient than the current van, with a better interior and enough cupholders to service an entire preschool. Maybe two. Whether Honda will step up and offer all-wheel drive remains a mystery, but that's the one thing Toyota holds over all its competitors' heads right now. That's gotta irk
someone on the Big H's org chart. We're actually looking forward to seeing the finished product. Yeah, we just said that about a minivan. Sue us.
Many thanks, Bernardo.
