As I see more and more of the new Odysseys on the road, I am increasingly puzzled. Does Honda think they can suddenly make the minivan sexy by adding some flare to the profile and featuring it in commercials that lean heavily on pyrotechnics, a panther, and a Marshall stack or pander to suburban parents' unspoken sexual fantasies? C'mon. I won't pretend to speak for minivan drivers everywhere, but I strongly prefer the blandness of the previous body style, or the current Sienna, to this try-hard nonsense.
So what if the Odyssey becomes the sexiest minivan on the market? That's like being the sexiest girl at band camp. It may be worth something, but it ain't worth much. And I don't care what she can so with her flute.
