Honda is kicking everyone's A$$
"...Despite the huge profits that its competitors were minting by making larger vehicles, Honda Motor never veered from its mission of building fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly cars like its Accord sedan. ....No major automaker in America is doing better than Honda, whose sales are up 3 percent for the first seven months of this year in a market that has fallen 11 percent. By comparison, General Motors is down nearly 18 percent, Ford Motor has dropped 14 percent, and Toyota has slid 7 percent. While competitors are scrambling to shift their product lineups to build more small vehicles and slash their bloated inventories of trucks, Honda can barely keep up with demand, particularly in the subcompact category...." Rest of article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/26/bu...nted=1&_r=1&em

With a growing family, we got an Odyssey (still have an X3). Of all mini-vans the Odyssey looks the coolest, IMO.

My brother has the same Van and it is a really nice car/truck.
Honda did not enter the big suv/truck market, which Toyota did. Honda does not even offer a V8 in it Acura line, which has limited sales. I think they are a smaller company and did not want to invest in the development costs not sure that it was as much smart decision as much as the fact that they had limited capital?

Looks like whatever they are doing is working... unlike the "Big 3"
but I recently commented to a friend (Benz fanatic) that it appeared that the new Honda models are getting to look more and more like BMW clones... he said "didn't you know that inside every Honda owner is a would-be BMW owner if he had the money (or the credit)" seemed like a funny comment but I think he was serious!

My stepdad owns both an E53 X5 4.4i and a Honda Pilot.
He prefers to drive the Honda Pilot and we can't get him to stop talking about the thing: "Room for 7 passengers, better on gas, lots of storage, handles great, great pickup, etc. AND it's 1/2 the price of the X5, blah blah, blah." I don't love the way they look but purely for utilitarian reasons, it is a great SUV.
