This thing will blow the new Sienna away. I guarantee it. Better mileage, more room, at least as reliable, and similarly priced with options that even the Sienna doesn't offer.

I think it looks fine. The kink looks a bit weird, sure, but in a darker color you won't even notice it.
I will in a year or so.

We owned a minivan for a few years. I don't hate them. For hauling stuff and people in comfort and efficiency they can't be beat. I love my sports cars but let's face it, the S2000 would struggle to take 4 kids to the beach or haul a new grill home from Lowe's. We also owned a Yukon Denali (short version) and the minivan had much more useable cargo volume. Not as much load capacity but a lot more volume. My wife hated the step up/down height of the Denali but loved the minivan. The kids preferred the minivan too. And the minivan got about 25% better fuel economy than the Denali.

It looks like they welded on the back end. Damn they've lost it.
Yup! That section from the back doors rearward looks really really bad.

You say that about all the Hondas.
I guess I have to balance some of the senseless bashing from people (look in the mirror) that will never buy these cars or, in many cases, any car. That and those that can only yell "Honda is sinking" while not buying any of the cars that are supposedly better.

Several in here are Odyssey owners. Not including me though, No Need for a van.

The new Odyssey actually looks good to me. Much preferred over the current bloated styling. The "lightning bolt" is a nice distinctive design that will probably set it apart from other minivans.

I could care less about the looks, I'd be more concerned as to WTF I did wrong to be driving around a minivan

Btw - Why aren't doing something like a 4 cyl hybrid version to try to get better MPG?
