Review: 2008 Honda Odyssey
(Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks)
Although Honda claims a major update for its 2008 Honda Odyssey minivan, the results look to us like a minor face-lift, with just a little work around the eyes and mouth but the same old body. The front of the car exhibits some modern touches around the headlights and grille, but the bulk of the car looks at home in the '90s. For the real updates, we have to look in the cabin electronics and under the hood. This new Odyssey gets Honda's Bluetooth hands-free cell phone system and a new rear-seat DVD screen. Likewise, the engine gets added fuel savings from a refined cylinder deactivation system, which can cut the six-cylinder engine down to three cylinders when loads are low.

- SUBJECTIVE review! funny how REAL car editors (edmunds, Car & Driver, Automobile Mag, etc, etc) find the Odyssey as the top minivan (Odyssey/Sienna neck and neck). wonder what this author considers better?
