The van is back. of realization. flash

It’s been a while since a van has been the recipient of as much love and the source of as much pride. Then again, with its sleek, ultra-modern styling, loads of high-tech goodness and a sporty feel usually absent in this category, perhaps this level of feeling is something entirely new.

DVD screen

The available Honda DVD Entertainment System’s wide screen enables movies to be played with their in-theater format.

With so many entertainment options,

and harmony peace, love

moments of are a whole lot easier to achieve.

With a faceplate that doubles as a pop-out remote control, rear passengers can play a movie or enjoy other entertainment options without disturbing the driver.

Lightweight wireless headphones feature Personal Surround and turn on and off with a simple twist.

The miles pass by more quickly when you give passengers something to do with their time. The Honda DVD Entertainment System – available on EX-L and standard on Touring – lets rear passengers enjoy a movie or even a video game by connecting their game system to the vehicle’s rear audio/ video inputs. When DVD-equipped, a 115-volt outlet in the 3rd row lets you plug in your video-game console, laptop or other electronics.

Standard on the LX is a 120-watt AM/FM/CD system. The EX model adds 2 additional speakers and a 6-disc in-dash CD changer.

Odyssey Touring models feature a 360-watt premium audio system with 7 speakers, including a subwoofer.

EX-L and Touring models come with XM R Satellite Radio,3 giving you over 170 digitalquality channels to choose from.

All Odyssey audio systems offer an auxiliary input jack and are MP3- and Windows Media R Audio4 (WMA) -compatible.

The new BluetoothR 5 HandsFreeLinkR wireless phone technology on Touring models lets you make and receive calls with your compatible cell phone while your hands stay on the wheel.

Power features include both side doors and 8-way driver’s seat on EX and above.

EX-L adds a 4-way passenger seat, while Touring includes new memory-linked side mirrors with reverse-gear tilt down.

The conversation mirror in most models gives the driver and front passenger a view of the entire cabin. It also doubles as a flip-down sunglasses holder.

The Odyssey’s large power moonroof on EX-L and Touring models features a tilt function as well as an air diffuser to let air circulate inside the cabin without causing too much turbulence.

With the touch of a button, the navigation system’s 8-inch touch screen flips down to give you access to the audio system’s 6 - disc in-dash CD changer.

The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation SystemT 6 with Voice Recognition ( available on EX-L, standard on Touring ) links to 7 million points of interest * and Zagat Survey R ratings.7

* Some roads unverified. See the navigation system owner’s manual for more details on coverage.

The Odyssey’s tri-zone automatic climate control system, standard on EX and above, lets driver, front passenger and rear passengers select their very own comfort zones.

Touring models feature a remote power tailgate to give you even easier access to the Odyssey’s cavernous interior.

With the 2nd-row seats removed and the 3rd-row Magic Seat R folded into the floor, the Odyssey offers up 147 cubic feet of flat-floor cargo area.*

The deep well behind the 60/40 split-folding 3rd row gives you plenty of cargo space, even when you’re loaded up with passengers.

*

Ingenious storage options abound, giving you plenty of places to stash your goods. These include in-floor storage, a unique dual glove compartment and up to 15 beverage holders. The 2nd row’s PlusOne Seat,T on EX and above, flips up for additional under-seat storage.

It can be truly mind-blowing how many interior configurations the Odyssey is capable of. Passengers, cargo, or any combination of the two are easily accommodated in this highly versatile vehicle. Most models have seating for eight, thanks to a removable 2nd-row PlusOne Seat. The two deeply padded, full-size 2nd-row captain’s chairs can push together, pull apart and slide forward for easy 3rd-row access. The 60/40 split 3rd-row Magic Seat folds flat in one easy motion – without having the head restraints removed. In addition, the Odyssey’s thoughtful design gives you plenty of legroom and elbow room ( even in the 3rd row ) , easy child-seat access and a low step-in height.

on down

Take a few curves and you might forget that you’re driving a vehicle that can seat up to eight. With its rack-and-pinion steering, independent suspension, including double wishbones in back, and powerful 4 - wheel disc brakes, you’ll be the envy of the carpool lane. And its sophisticated Drive-by-Wire T throttle system and 5 - speed automatic transmission help make sure the Odyssey’s considerable power is always flowing smoothly.

It’s got the moves to help you get

power to the people.

In the case of the Odyssey, it comes in the form of two engines, each of which delivers plenty of muscle while also giving you great fuel economy 8 and low emissions. In the LX and EX, it’s a 3.5 - liter V- 6 capable of generating 244 hp. The EX-L and Touring models add a Variable Cylinder Management T ( VCM R ) system that sends mpg numbers into family sedan territory.

Honda has always believed in giving

Odyssey EX-L shown in Ocean Mist Metallic.

During steady cruising, the Odyssey’s V-6 shuts down the entire rear bank of cylinders. An Active Noise Cancellation T (ANC) system helps control engine noise.

When cruising speeds climb, the engine moves from 3-cylinder to 4-cylinder mode. The transitions between all modes are seamless and go unnoticed by the driver.

The 2008 Odyssey EX-L and Touring models feature the latest-generation Variable Cylinder Management technology. Powered by the intelligence of i-VTEC,R VCM quickly and seamlessly activates or deactivates certain engine cylinders, depending on the driver’s demands. The result is great fuel economy,8 power when you need it, including a 3,500-lb. towing capacity,9 and an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle ( ULEV-2 ) rating.

When maximum torque is required – such as when you’re merging onto a freeway or climbing a hill – all 6 cylinders are firing to deliver the engine’s full power.

safety

for

Safety for Everyone is more than a slogan, it’s one of our core beliefs. It has led us to become an industry leader in developing and applying advanced safety technology. The Odyssey is a rolling showcase of this philosophy with standard safety features such as anti-lock braking ( ABS ) , Vehicle Stability Assist T ( VSAR) with traction control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS ) , active front head restraints, which are designed to lessen the potential for neck injuries during rear-end collisions, and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children ( LATCH ) system. The Odyssey has also received 5-star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for both frontal- and side-impact crash tests.*

*Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s ( NHTSA’s ) New Car Assessment Program ( www.safercar.gov ) . Model tested with standard side-impact airbags ( SABs )

The Michelin PAX System,2 available on the Odyssey Touring, lets you drive on a deflated tire up to 125 miles at speeds up to 50 mph. Its specially designed larger wheel even enhances handling during everyday use.

6airbags

The Odyssey’s impressive line of defense includes dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags that can vary their deployment based on accident severity and seat-belt usage, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System ( OPDS ) , and 3 - row side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor.*

* Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly restrained in the rear seat.

On models equipped with navigation, the screen doubles as a full-color rearview camera display, giving you a clear view of the area directly behind the vehicle when you shift into reverse. New for 2008, EX-L models without navigation show the image on a camera display located in the rearview mirror.

The Odyssey’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering T ( ACE T ) body structure makes it more crash-compatible in frontal impacts with vehicles of differing bumper heights.

Front airbags inflate and deflate in a fraction of a second.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) can help detect oversteer or understeer, to help restore the driver’s intended path.

Oversteer Understeer VSA

Looking beyond government regulations, Honda studies real-world situations to develop new safety technology. Our cutting-edge engineering and testing facilities in Japan and America help us develop the next generation of safety features – all focused on evolving our Safety for Everyone concept.

Honda’s legacy of environmental leadership includes world-changing advances in fuel economy and low-emission and hybrid technology. Our latest contributions include the natural gas-powered Civic GX, the world’s cleanest internal-combustion vehicle,10 and the next-generation FCX hydrogen fuel cell car, which is set for production in 2008.

Honda’s formidable ability to invent the future can be experienced on the land, in the water and, now, above the clouds. Our HondaJet T is an ideal showcase for our core approach to design, maximizing performance as well as comfort while minimizing the surrounding machine.

Honda began racing motorcycles in the 1950s, and then cars in the ’60s. In addition to the obvious motivation of first-place trophies, we race to learn, taking innovative technology developed for the track and applying it to everyday use.

DNA. Honda

As integral to every Honda as the materials used to build it are the ideas and values that inspired it. As an automotive leader in clean technology, our commitment to being environmentally responsible is second to none. Equally important is our desire to help keep drivers and passengers safe. This is evident from the impressive list of safety features that comes standard on every vehicle. Of course, take one drive in the Odyssey and you’ll become intimately aware of a third value. Since day one, it’s been a Honda mandate that every vehicle has to be fun to drive.
