2008 Honda Odyssey Facelift Is Revealed

The significantly-updated-for-2008 Honda Odyssey minivan receives new exterior styling along with a more fuel-efficient version of the available Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM) i-VTEC V-6 engine. Exterior styling focuses on a bolder, six-sided grille design and a front bumper fascia with crisp lines that add to the vehicle’s dynamic and premium appearance.

“The Odyssey is the king of the Honda lineup when it comes to moving the maximum number of people in maximum comfort,” said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “For 2008, the Odyssey strengthens its styling and functional advantages while adding even more premium features.”

Four new and notable available premium features include Bluetooth HandsFreeLink (available Odyssey EX-L and Touring), 4-way power passenger seat (standard Odyssey EX-L and Touring), rearview camera display integrated into the rearview mirror (standard Odyssey EX-L) and memory-linked side mirrors with reverse gear tilt-down (standard Odyssey Touring).

Hmm, nose is getting pretty long, looks awkward for a minivan. My big question, though, why is there no hybrid version? There are no hybrid minivans out there at all. I'd hate to go to a cramped SUV to get better mileage.

Honda's stragety: IMA (hybrid system) for Civic and below. Diesel for Accord (CRV) and above. It is unlikely to change.
If you want a hybrid minivan, write letters to Toyota.

Honda stop making Hybrids for V6's due to lack of response, cost too much and for not that great of an improvement in fuel economy. You'll be seeing the new V6 Variable Cylinder Management coming-it goes from 6 to 4 to 3 cylinders depending upon the driving situation. Also, diesels will be here in 2010 for the V6's, and maybe some 4 cylinders. Honda just got their cat. converter ok'd to meet the higher emissions standards.
