The word is that Honda wants to sell a smaller car than the Civic in the U.S and Canada. This is where the all new City comes in.

The previous generations sold in Japan and Europe for years never made it in North America, but his is about to change.

The interior is slightly more interesting than the extremely boring exterior design. With option packages, it can also be quite luxurious.

They will try to compete with the Toyota Echo, with a starting price very close to $10 000.

The only engine available in the U.S will be a 1.4 Liter. If consumer clinics are favorable, look for the car at the end of 2003, or early in 2004.

Although labeled as "all new", the 2005 Odyssey is a redesign of the existing platform. Using most of the current van.

The design looks pretty much the same. It is still the most conservative looking minivan on the US market. You would think they could try something new. Not Honda. If it works, let's do it again...

TItIt's almost a "retro" design from the late 80's...The Korean designs even look more modern now...h

The engine might have a bit more power. But what sells these is the Honda name and reputation. For people who don't want to look around for something else, that might be just as reliable.
