The Odyssey is undergoing a few changes this year. Honda is making a lot of noise about the factory-standard vacuum offered in the Touring, but the fact that the transmission now has six speeds in all versions shouldn’t be swept under the rug. This year, the engineers reinforced the chassis in certain strategic spots. The 3.5L V6 still delivers 248 horsepower and a respectable 250 lbs.-ft. of torque. The designers also updated the front end to an extent.
