You might think that rule is in place to protect the rest of the world from the American thirst for cars but it is actually meant to protect USDM car manufacturer's profit margin. That is why Mercedes was lobbying for it in the 80s. Safety and "emissions" is actually just an excuse because you can cobble together a car in your shed in America and get it registered.
Looks good except for the doorwindow rubber. But 2007.. I think the new owner could still score a new set from Honda. Personally I love the later model with the "dubble" boot lid.
Depends on the buyer's climate I imagine? Since they're in the UK maybe they don't need AWD, and it's probably more expensive and less fuel efficient. But here in Canada there's no way I'd have this in FWD that's for sure!
looks like a 2014-15 car, very modern design for 2006-07
Thanks Derek brand new window mouldings already delivered from Japan in 3 days
@0:06 That is a great service, Derek.
I really love the stepwagon, the 25 year rule here means I still gotta wait for a while longer to even get the RG1 model, let alone the one after this

16 minutes is not too much "Honda Stepwagon" from you!! 🙂
What are you doing, Stepwgn?
Explanation was useful for someone interested in these JDM MPVs. Sounds like the Odyssy offers a more estate car like drive rather than an like?

Never understand why you would go FWD when you can get these in AWD
