06/17/2010 - DENVER -

The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey seeks to redefine the concept of the minivan with its aggressive stance and sporty "lightning-bolt" beltline. The lightning bolt not only provides an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third-row passengers. New interior features add more convenience for families, while available entertainment technology introduces high-definition connectivity and split-screen viewing. Currently the best-selling minivan in the U.S., the all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey is set to go on sale this fall. Compared to the current Odyssey, the 2011 model's lower roofline (-1.6 inches versus 2010 Odyssey EX) and wider track (+1.4 inches) contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy and also translate into more interior width.

2011 Honda Odyssey Pictures

Here are some of the newly released 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite Pictures...

This pictures shows the all new look.. Notice the styling change??

The Odyssey now boasts the widest Display standard in any factory vehicle..  

The 2011 Honda cockpit.. Newly redesigned.. More symmetrical?

Looks like more storage and the center table remains for the new model.

When you need room is there actually anything better? Look at all that room!

Clean and crisp display.. 

The new looks gives it a much crisper feeling doesn't it?

Looks like room is gained by the rear design and less round end.

I say it could have been labeled an Acura but it is a HONDA!

Here is a direct link to Honda for all the pictures...

Odyssey Concept Reveals Stylish, Dynamic Image for All-New Honda Minivan

The next-generation Odyssey adds sleek styling, new functionality and higher fuel economy to best-selling minivan

CHICAGO February 10, 2010

The Honda Odyssey Concept, on display at the Chicago Auto Show, introduces a sleek and distinctive exterior styling direction for the next generation of the industry's best-selling minivan, set to debut this fall, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.


The Odyssey Concept dramatically departs from conventional minivan styling with its low and wide stance, highlighted by a "lightning-bolt" beltline that further distinguishes the vehicle's profile. Compared to the current Odyssey, the Concept's slightly lower roofline (-1.0 inch) and wider stance (+1.4 inch) contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy. Forthcoming improvements to the production Odyssey's interior are designed to further enhance the current model's accommodating space for people and cargo.


"The Odyssey established its reputation by providing families with what they most want in a minivan - great functionality, an emphasis on safety and good fuel economy," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of American Honda product planning. "Odyssey then further delighted customers with its surprisingly engaging, fun-to-drive and dynamic nature. The next-generation Odyssey promises to take these strengths to a higher level while adding more style and personality."


The steeply raked front and rear roof pillars, unique side-glass profile, chamfered roof line, and tapered rear cabin shape combine to create a dynamic and distinctive appearance from any perspective. The lightning-bolt beltline dives toward the rear of the vehicle emphasizing the new Odyssey's sporty appearance while enhancing outward visibility for third-row passengers. Aggressive body-to-wheel proportions reduce the perception of vertical height common to most minivan designs. Fender flares further accent the vehicle's securely planted and stylish persona. The concept vehicle's projector beam headlights, LED taillights and form-fit fog lights further heighten the sophisticated quality of the design.


Enhanced aerodynamics and advanced powertrain technologies will contribute to the next-generation Odyssey's increased fuel efficiency. The all-new 2011 Odyssey is expected to achieve an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating¹ of 19 city/28 highway miles-per gallon on select models (preliminary estimate determined by Honda).


Currently in its third generation, the Odyssey's unique array of features, including its superior driving dynamics, 3rd-Row Magic Seat® and efficient i-VTEC™ V-6 engine with three-mode Variable Cylinder Management™ (available) all combine to offer a sophisticated environment with room for up to eight people (seven on Odyssey LX). The Odyssey has been America's best-selling minivan since 2008² and is produced exclusively in Alabama by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama (using domestic and globally sourced parts). Both the concept and production vehicles, along with all development activity for the 2011 Odyssey, are being designed at Honda R&D Americas in Torrance, California, and Raymond, Ohio.
The Odyssey has won numerous awards and critical acclaim. Recent accolades include an Edmunds.com 2010 "Top Recommended" minivan award, U.S. News and World Report 2010 "Best Minivan for the Money" award, Automotive Lease Guide 2010 "Best Minivan for the Money," the Kelley Blue Book award as one of the ten "Best New Family Vehicles of 2009" and "2009 Best Resale Value Award" in the van category, which recognizes vehicles that are expected to have segment-leading resale value after five years of ownership.

Length (inches)	202.8                Current Model   Length           202.1
Width (inches)	78.5                                              Width              77.1

2011 Honda Odyssey Concept Pictures Chicago Auto Show

The Honda Odyssey was shown in the Chicago Auto Show.. This is such a good look now.. It really looks modern and to me maybe a little smaller. The thing about the Odyssey is that it does so much and it looks like the 2011 has new tricks up its sleeve in the interior. The rear window looks like it has dropped allowing the people in the back better visibility out. I am so glad it didn't get a front end grill ala' Acura.. Thank you Honda for not bringing over the beak of death that you find in all those Acuras.
Here are some more pics.. What do you think? Will it be a big winner like the current generation or will you still never drive a van? Click on the image for a bigger photo!

Does it look way smaller or is it me?

The front looks very nice and modern.

It looks taller and less wider, Maybe?

Cool Wheels.. Hope they bring those.

Looks more like a Suv.

Check out all that glass.. Plenty of visibility.

The rear looks pretty similar to the current generation.

Teh rear Glass looks very straight down now.
