nice van, but 50K + 4.9% = mortgage payment. I've seen a few around and it's a nice looking van, albeit quite large.

And what the heck does this mean?

Another overpriced and overhyped Honda product. Someone I know has a 2004
Odyssey and it's a rattle box...every plastic part seems to rattle when you hit
a rougher road. It says alot about it's structural integrity that's for sure.

I love Honda's but I think they priced this van too high, by about 2-3K per model.   It's not a question of affordability, but rather I don't perceive it as being appropriately priced. 

If I were buying something in this segment, I would likely buy a Toyota, and consider the "new" Quest.

Even if Honda is selling Odyssey at this price, they still can't build enough to satisfy customers. Odyssey has been selling at MSRP since outgoing model introduced back in 99.

I read somewhere that they had a 30-50+ day suppy and needed to idle a shift that makes them for a couple of weeks.

I've seen lots of 2004 Siennas advertised for about $20K.  That makes way more sense to me than any new van.

Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure

ACE body structure incorporates a front-end frame structure that absorbs and disperses crash energy over a larger area. ACE increases Odyssey passenger protection, and makes it more crash-compatible with vehicles of differing ride heights.

Honda doesn't have a problem selling its vans but I don't think they produce that much.  ???  Remember seeing a sales figure about vans not so long ago.

Even the next Stream, Mazda5 competitor,'s base model won't be starting at $18k when its going to launch.
