Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Minivan/Van , Honda 2011 Honda Odyssey – Click above for high-res image gallery When Honda pulled the wraps off of its Odyssey Concept at this year’s Chicago Auto Show , we knew it was just a few small tweaks away from being production-ready. Well, four months later, the official details and images have been released, and while the 2011 Odyssey doesn’t go a long way in offering fantastic new innovations for the minivan segment, it packages the whole thing together in what might be the best-looking minivan we have yet to see. The 2011 Odyssey is lower and wider than the outgoing model, and features what Honda is calling a “lightning bolt” beltline, a feature that was present on the concept van that we saw in Chicago.

That has been corrected with this video, which should have just enough growling, whining and screeching to tide you over until Ford raises the portcullis on more multimedia, which we’re hoping is very, very soon. Yes, they did this kind of testing before , but this time it’s sunny… and can you really get enough of that noise?
