DRIVE- 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite

What do Harry Potter and the 2011 Honda Odyssey have in common? A lightning bolt. With a completely different look, Honda is after the family van buyer that needs one but doesn't necessarily want one. Tom Voelk looks at a top-of-the-line Touring Elite model.

Now that's a mini-van!

Oh yes I forgot about the new Quest. Too bad it uses a CVT so it wouldn't make my shopping list (if i were in the market for a van) anyways. It is definitely expensive at 44k but the Sienna can hit 46k fully loaded and its interior is just unacceptable, while the Honda is disappointing I guess, but at least they tried with the soft touch points.

Best accord that fit 8 adults.

i'd take this over any crossover SUV. reason? cargo room and passenger volume. just wish it was available with AWD since i live in the Northeast

The dash is soft on the passenger side but c'mon what van has a soft touch dashboard now? (I think its the VW Routan and Kia Sedona but both are junk) The last one was the 09 Sienna and the new one is just god awful now. The Odyssey has soft touch materials in important touch point areas like the upper door panels and arm rest. Thats all that really matters to most buyers.
