Even though it was in its fifth model year, the 2010 Honda Odyssey was at the top of its class despite tough new competition from Toyota, Nissan and Dodge. Its eight-passenger seating, comprehensive set of optional and standard features, excellent crash test and safety scores and numerous other strengths begged the question: What will Honda do for an encore?
Honda's answer? Make everything a little better. The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey addresses its predecessor's few shortcomings, improves on its strengths, and adds an important new twist on second-row seating that its competition can't match. In fact, after spending a week behind the wheel, it's really a no-brainer: The 2011 Honda Odyssey is the best minivan on the market. |

Specifications apply to EX Front-Wheel Drive models
As crossovers replaced minivans as the primary choice for family haulers, they gradually lost much of their truck-like styling in favor of more wagon-like designs. The 2010 Honda Pilot, however, retains its boxy looks, even though most Pilots are front-wheel drive and won’t do any more off road driving than accidentally backing over a lawn. In spite of its unfashionable clothes, the Honda Pilot remains a strong seller, and after spending a week with this eight-passenger crossover, it’s easy to see why. |
