The 2011 Honda Odyssey is fully redesigned with a fresh look

The 2011 Honda Odyssey is fully redesigned with a fresh look inside and out. This fourth-generation Odyssey is wider and lower than the 2005-2010 generation and has a zigzag body-side line that sets it apart from other minivans. Improved fuel economy and attachment points for five child safety seats – the most in any vehicle -- also are part of the 2011 Odyssey redesign.2011 Odyssey. Fresh off its model-year 2011 redesign, the 2012 Odyssey won’t get any changes worth waiting for. And modern computer-aided design and automated manufacturing techniques have undercut the rule of thumb about waiting for the automaker to work out bugs in a first-year model. That rule hardly applied to Honda, anyway. Some popular trim levels and colors might be difficult to find during the 2011 Odyssey’s first weeks on sale. But this minivan is manufactured at Honda’s plant in Alabama, so there quickly should be a generous supply of 2011 Odysseys and that ought to keep dealers from jacking prices because demand exceeds supply.
