00:00 The Honda Odyssey has spent the last year receiving numerous top industry accolades.
00:10 It's been called Best Buy and Best Minivan while earning itself Best Pick honors by the
00:15 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and it's earned a top rating in its class in the
00:19 EPA's 2006 Fuel Economy Guide as well.
00:22 The 2007 Honda Odyssey is everything you'd expect a minivan to be; big, long, and convenient,
00:28 offering an attractive front fascia, Honda puts simplicity to work in their design.
00:32 The vehicle doesn't exactly jump out of a crowd and scream "Look at me!"
00:36 But really, what minivan does?
00:38 The Odyssey relies on clean, elegant shapes and leaves the sexy factor to Porsche and
00:42 Audi.
00:43 The Odyssey is powered by a 3.5 liter V6 engine that produces 244 horsepower and 240 pound-feet
00:49 of torque.
00:50 The six-cylinder engine improves its fuel economy by implementing Variable Cylinder
00:54 Management or VCM, which uses cylinder deactivation technology to shut down three of the engine's
00:59 cylinders while the vehicle is cruising, requiring less power.
01:03 For a large family, the interior of a minivan at times becomes a living room of sorts, requiring
01:07 facilities for entertainment, social interaction, and perhaps most importantly, nap time.
01:13 Honda seems well aware, providing a long list of standard comfort and convenience features
01:16 including rear privacy glass, independent front and rear air conditioning, power windows,
01:22 and a remote keyless entry system.
01:24 Also available are leather heated seats, DVD entertainment system with 9-inch screen,
01:28 and Honda's satellite-linked navigation system.
01:31 The 2007 Honda Odyssey is built on a long line of accomplished Honda minivans, so if
01:36 you're in need of a living room on wheels, make sure to check it out.
